I posted yesterday about pattern matching on dicts in ReScript. Here's an illustrative example of one of the things it enables: Together with unboxed variants, you can now have simple and "native" JSON decoding, all just using primitives in the language itself.

Are you using ReScript in production, or are seriously considering it? I'd love to have a quick call with you and hear about your experience/thoughts. My DMs are open, please feel free to reach out!

We're further closing the syntax gap between ReScript and JavaScript in in v12: - First class regex syntax (previously needed wrapping in %re("<pattern>")) - Remainder operator - Use +, -, / and * for any number type, dedicated operators per type not needed And more coming!

ReScript ships with native async/await support that also compiles to async/await in JavaScript. You can pattern match directly on the await, and handle errors in the pattern match as well. No need to wrap things manually in try/catch, the compiler still emits the right thing.

Funny that as SWE, I still keep on watching a day in the life of SWE.

They also make good chocolates!

One of our core contributors were on the Developer Voices podcast talking about ReScript - what ReScript is, who it targets, and how it relates to JavaScript and TypeScript. Check out the conversation here: youtube.com/watch?v=yKl2fS…

We are happy to announce that there will be another "ReScript Retreat" in 2025, once again in Vienna, Austria. Check out this new blogpost to get an idea what we did last year. rescript-lang.org/blog/retreats
