It's nice to see another functional language. This one seems to be inspired by F#.

Before Darklang it's founder worked on Tablecloth, a standard library for ReasonML/Bucklescript. Contributed to it back then.

Inspired by OCaml, to be pedantically correct.

maybe I'm wrong, but I think Tablecloth was developed as part of Darklang. Our old editor was written in ReScript (or whatever names it had before) and OCaml. Tablecloth offered a 'common' lib for rescript and ocaml. Then when we ported the F# backend, we added an F# lib too. We killed our usage a few months ago, though

> Contributed to it back then.

It was pitched as an alternative standard library with the same API on Frontend (Reason or Bucklescript) and Backend (OCaml). That was before ReScript and before Darklang.

ah cool!

Inspired by OCaml, written previously in OCaml, currently written in F#. My interest was definitely inspired by my time with F#.
