Ah yes. I looked at this a while ago. I liked it but then ran into a brick wall with a lack of support for an equivalent to async/await syntax. It has wrappers for JS promises but they are clunky and awkward, unless someone wants to enlighten me?

Try this for some syntactic sugar: https://github.com/digitake/bs-promise-monad

Just want to add that the genType project can even compile ReScript to Typescript!

don't get your hope too high it's just the intersection between the two, advanced typescript types are lost.

TS compiled to JS without any "overhead". This is not what the OP said.

I don't think even ReScript can do this (yet?)

given it's just ocaml I don't think it can do this ever, not that it's necessarily a bad thing.

Wow, when I read this earlier, I was dismissive (because I am really happy with typescript). But reading through the comparison - it seems to have many of the great parts I like in Typescript.

Then, I noticed it has the pipe operator! I'm going to be giving this a try.
