Such a shame. The end of an era.

We just released ReScript v12.2.0

Get a raspberry pi and figure out docker. Home assistant is great.
Being able to quickly write bindings, either by hand or asking an agent, is crucial for adopting a language like rescript.
Rescript really is a godsend for JS frontend devs. It's not always practical to use a language that isn't so tightly coupled to JS/TS and allows easy interop with npm packages. We're probably going to use React, xstate, Redux, date-fns, some weird cookie library, and whatever else someone pulls in.
I finally gave ocaml a try.
I like it.

The wikipedia app can show random articles which is fun. I also browse issues and code on GitHub (I'm a developer, so others will find that boring). YouTube shorts can also be fun, but I've been trying to avoid the phone and use my ereader more.
I love seeing developers write detailed documentation, comments, best practices and guidelines so LLMs can write better code. It turns out this can also help human developers write good code!
Maybe we should put as much effort into the humans around us as we do for the toaster slop machines.
Someday this stupid bubble will pop.
I need good support for server components!
What about ocaml!
Congrats!
Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work.
"Who wrote this code? Why are we using JavaScript?"
I've been working on some new dynamic social media images for the ReScript site. @deno.land gave me inspiration and made me jealous at the same time.
A chart on npm trends showing the downloads of rescript over the last 2 years. It starts at around 10,000 and is almost at 35,000 weekly downloads.
It's great to see ReScript growing steadily!
Show @rescript-lang.org some love on @npmx.dev and hit that like button!

At least 6 hours because they will argue about it.
I spent the past couple weeks getting @effect-ts.bsky.social pilled. I don't love TS, but it's everywhere. If I have to use it, I want typed errors and a standard library created by sane adults.

๐โโ๏ธ so ... for reasons:
I would love to know people's frustrations with:
- the current npmjs.com
- admin user flows on npm web ui (and cli, locally)

Public hanging?
That's a crime.
For those interested, I released two new versions of rescript-signals with a bunch of performance improvements and a benchmark script:

There are usually a dozen weird business cases where that difference matters.
It's rare that we don't care about data.
Variant/Enum types. It's either a CustomerWithAddress or a CustomerWithoutAddress.
Objects with optional keys should be banned. Change my mind.
This year, I'd like to see what I can do to improve financial stability of MSW.
Governments, banks, and Fortune 500 companies are all using my work while it's one sponsor cancellation away from me not being able to work on it at all. This has to change.
