About ReScript

ReScript is a Programming language that compiles to JavaScript. It is a statically typed and garbage-collected language that compiles (transpiles) into another language to run. It supports functional programming. Transpiling means the compiler emits source in another high-level language rather than machine code, so the output then runs on that language's runtime.

ReScript first appeared in 2020. Development is led by Bloomberg L.P.. ReScript is now used mainly in specialized niches and by dedicated communities.
