#reasonml — Public Fediverse posts

A year or so ago, I posted about an intriguing, new #programming language called #MoonBit, which I discovered on the #wasm site. MoonBit is designed expressly for edge, cloud, and IoT. It has all the much-adored OCamlisms. And despite my dislike of ALGOLish blocky syntax, I say without reservation that MoonBit’s syntax is tastefully designed. In other words, MoonBit is #ReasonML done right.

Of late, this language has matured rather quickly. Its toolchain is refined. Documentation is comprehensive—a rarity amongst new languages. Yet, the website conservatively claims to be not yet production-ready. Humble—good on them.

But despite this refreshing humility, the examples include an implementation of the λ-calculus and the graph reduction G-machine. 💪

Anyone who likes #OCaml but wants an “on the edge”, lightweight, wasmy language should give MoonBit a try.

@rauschma What is your opinion of #ReScript (https://rescript-lang.org/)? It has somewhat an #OCaml heritage via #ReasonML

Edit: Just looked at the source for Grain; it’s mostly ReasonML!

I wish #rescript had first-class monads 😭 I need my >=>
At the very least bring back online module opening syntax from #ReasonML and #OCaml 😔

Time for an #introduction

I'm John and quite new to the #fediverse but this feels like how the internet was back in the 90's and I love it.

My partner is not on #mastodon but we've been together for over 2 decades. We have 2 high energy girls that are delightfully weird.

I love #fitness and I have been a #powerlifter for over 10 years with various success.

I am a #FunctionalProgrammer and write #ReasonML #OCaml at Ahrefs.

I'm 1 half of the duo that made GitKraken and was the VPoE at Qwick
