This book serves as a succinct guide on ReScript a functional language for building web
applications. Using examples of ReScript language features along with explanations of
fundamental concepts in functional programming this book will show web developers with a
background in JavaScript how to effectively use ReScript to its full potential. In Introducing
ReScript you'll learn how to use features in ReScript that JavaScript lacks such as type
inference null-safety algebraic data types pattern matching and more. Along the way you'll
pick up functional programming concepts like immutability and higher-order functions. You'll
also gain a sense of how ReScript works under the hood and how to leverage interoperability
between ReScript and JavaScript. Whether you're a web developer interested in dabbling with
functional programming or you just want to learn how to write safer and cleaner code for web
applications this book is a great way for you to get started with ReScript. What You Will
Learn Use ReScript to write clean safe and elegant software Understand the features of
ReScript that set it apart from JavaScript such as type inference null-safety and algebraic
data types Explore functional programming concepts like immutabhigher-orderr order functions
and pattern matching Use popular JavaScript libraries and frameworks in your ReScript code and
integrate ReScript code into JavaScript codebases Who This Book Is For Web developers that want
a strictly typed safer alternative to JavaScript as well as web developers interested in
learning functional programming and leveraging the elegant and powerful functional features in
ReScript.
