Thanks again Harry! This was so much fun 😀

[@Tango-tt6dx]

A lot of first times for me in this video: first time I heard about ReScript, ReasonML, OCaml, etc.
Thanks ❤️

[@vin5718]

Interesting, I was aware of and have tried a bit of ReasonML but I definitely wasn’t aware of ReScript. Thanks

What's the diff between ReScript and Fable for F# ? Why would you choose ReScript over Fable?

[@gliderguld]

Would have preffered a demo of ReScript.

Does it work with js generators? typescript does not work well with redux-saga. So I am looking for an alternative. Has someone tried using this with redux-saga?

[@okerror1451]

Just a heads up! -- This is a purely theoretical video. No code here.

[@i5artube]

I still use vanilla js and write unit tests.
