ReScript 12 is here! A major step toward a leaner, faster, simpler toolchain. This release refines the language and embraces ReScript’s own identity. Blog: rescript-lang.org/blog/release... Notes: github.com/rescript-lan... Huge thanks to everyone who helped move ReScript forward.

Real talk: without a challenger like @bun.sh this would never have happened.

Node excitement 😉 Congrats to @marcoippolito.dev on making it official: type-stripping in Node 25 is now declared to be stable 🎉 You can run: node index.ts The capabilities have not changed since Node 24. This is purely a maturity indicator.

Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust. In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)

Never use your default branch to send PRs in GitHub! Maintainers can't push to that branch, even though if you enabled "Maintainers are allowed to edit this pull request."

The editor tooling in #ReScript has immense potential. I'm very happy to be among the core contributors and learn from the best!

Even with a little code tour.

Upcoming ReScript (@rescript-lang.org) v12 move platform binaries into optional dependencies (e.g. rescript/linux-x64) To shrink the download & install size significantly! Download & Install size change: - Before: 67 MB | 197 MB - After: 15 MB | 48 MB (on a Linux x64 machine)

I've been chatting a bit with Matthew lately, and his journey so far is very inspiring! I recommend tuning in if you're interested in learning how to contribute to #fsharp OSS!

We just landed a new (experimental) feature for v12 - nested record definitions! Records is a corner stone in ReScript. However, they can't be nested without explicit definitions. Until now! Will be especially useful for deeply nested records (like options objects) not intended to be reused.

Some thoughts on the TS compiler port to Go: - Overall I'm good here. - MS did talk to some folks in the community while working on this💪. This is good and should have had more emphasis. - They will have something at the end of the year 🤯. This might not be feasible with any other language.

- Shot in the dark, but Go might be a neutral language for external contributors. - There probably are sinister motivations as well. Big corp gonna big corp. If you don't like that, there are other options when it comes to dealing with Javascript these days.

@z-th.bsky.social has made an amazing job introducing #ReScript, go watch this deeply interesting video!

Much as I like #TypeScript, I think there's still plenty of room for competition. We need something that feels broadly like #JavaScript, but shaves away the corner cases, compiles faster, and just…flows…better. Could that be #ReScript? Let's find out… youtu.be/yKl2fSdnw7w
