ReScript (formerly BuckleScript) is a general-purpose programming language that transpiles to JavaScript and is mainly used for web development.
Based on OCaml, the ReScript language supports a strong and sound static type system, type inference, parametric polymorphism, tail recursion, pattern matching, first-class closures, functors (parametric modules) and exception handling.[5][6]
ReScript provides first-class bindings for React based web applications,[7] and React Native desktop applications.[8]
History[edit]
ReScript originally started in 2015 as BuckleScript, an OCaml to JavaScript transpiler created by Hongbo Zhang[1] while at Bloomberg. It was released as open source in 2016[9] and was subsequently included as a part of the ReasonML toolchain, where it was modified to also compile Reason, another language derived from OCaml, to JavaScript.
In 2020, BuckleScript was rebranded to ReScript as a separate language, dropping support for native code compilation in exchange for more JavaScript-like syntax and better integration with the web ecosystem[10][11][12][13]
