ReScript (formerly BuckleScript) is a general-purpose programming language that transpiles to JavaScript and is mainly used for web development.

The language and type system are based on OCaml, and as such ReScript supports features like strong and sound static type system, type inference, parametric polymorphism, tail recursion, pattern matching, first-class closures, functors (parametric modules), exception handling.^[4]^[5]

ReScript provides first-class bindings for React based web applications,^[6] and React Native desktop applications.^[7]

History[edit]

ReScript originally started in 2015 as BuckleScript, an OCaml to JavaScript transpiler created by Hongbo Zhang^[1] while at Bloomberg. It was released as open source in 2016^[8] and was subsequently included as a part of the ReasonML toolchain, where it was modified to also compile Reason, another language derived from OCaml, to JavaScript.

In 2020, BuckleScript was rebranded to ReScript as a separate language, dropping support for native code compilation in exchange for more JavaScript-like syntax and better integration with the web ecosystem^[9]^[10]^[11].
