Partial rewrite of the TypeScript project JoA Dice in ReScript
This is the 2nd edition of my language exploration project
- Typescript (original)
- Rescript (this one)
- Haskell
- Rust
to be fair in term of language comparison, I have to note that the internal model used in this project is simpler than the previous one:
- from
roll: map<face, count>in typescript - to
roll: list<face>in rescript
firsts impressions:
- automatic prettier in the vscode plugin is fine, but sometimes you'd prefer to format yourself to make the code more explicit (for instance keep function signature separated from the implementation)
- Belt module miss some important functions (for instance no
Belt.List.toArray, you have to get it in another (undocumented) moduleArray.of_list) - more generally, juggling with Belt and Js module is a pain
- documentation is improvable, I got most of the info I needed on the language itself (I'm a noob in FP) from an other source (Exploring ReasonML)
- otherwise, the language is really promising :)
build with npm run build, build+watch with npm run start
