Harley EadesOkay, so I've got a new codebase as well. I'm switching over to <a href="https://hci.social/tags/ReasonML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReasonML</a> for my backend development. This will make it super easy to prop up a website along with my backend interface (on <a href="https://hci.social/tags/nodejs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nodejs</a>) to my database. Then I can run experiments and testing using the backend interface before launching the mobile app. Learning a lot!

J. David Eisenberg<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@rauschma" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rauschma</a> What is your opinion of <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/ReScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReScript</a> (<a href="https://rescript-lang.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://rescript-lang.org/</a>)? It has somewhat an <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/OCaml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCaml</a> heritage via <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/ReasonML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReasonML</a>Edit: Just looked at the source for Grain; it’s mostly ReasonML!

ArtemisSo basically, it looks like the best way would be to: 1. Declare DTO types with *all* the fields (maybe using combining types if you use Rescript) 2. From these combined types, manually construct "entity" types. If needed, you can use composition (through records, tuples, etc) to combine multiple entities together.<a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/reasonml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reasonml</a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/Rescript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rescript</a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/OCaml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCaml</a>

Artemis2. OCaml has proper OOP, with inheritance, method overrides, all that stuff. But, unlike records, it's not easy to bind to JS objects, I think. 3. Somewhere on Rescript forum I saw something like "prefer explicitness to DRY". Which I guess makes sense?<a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/reasonml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reasonml</a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/Rescript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rescript</a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/OCaml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCaml</a>

ArtemisWhat I think about it after some digging and poking around Melange and Rescript playgrounds:1. Rescript can "combine" both object types and record types. If you have `type t1` and `type t2`, a `type t = {...t1, ...t2}` will have fields from both t1 and t2. But you can't put a variable of `type t` where a `t1` or `t2` is expected. At least this doesn't work: <a href="https://tinyurl.com/yv7j24mj" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://tinyurl.com/yv7j24mj</a>{cont} <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/reasonml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reasonml</a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/Rescript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rescript</a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/OCaml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCaml</a>

ArtemisA question about ReasonML/Rescript/OCaml on JS. How do you deal with the lack of structure inheritance?I'm mainly a backend dev with OOP background so I'm probably not seeing something.But at work, our frontend has a lot of types (TS) like this:``` type Client = BaseClient & { assignees: Actor[] } ```We use these for types that we get from API (a base type + some additional fields).How would you model something like that in Reason/Rescript/OCaml?<a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/reasonml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reasonml</a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/Rescript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rescript</a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/OCaml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCaml</a>

ArtemisOkay, am I understanding this correctly? 1. You can't just use any NPM package in <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/Melange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Melange</a>, you need to find compatible (as in, OCaml/ReasonML) packages? 2. You can't just put a JS file into Melange and be able to require it and use any code from it?<a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/ocaml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ocaml</a> <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/reasonml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reasonml</a>

As far as tooling is concerned, all of them have some level of incidental complexity though. There's also <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/PureScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#PureScript</a>, which is a dialect of Haskell that transpiles to JavaScript, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ReasonML" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ReasonML</a> (dialect of OCaml), and ScalaJS (which still suffers from the same tooling of its parent). Funnily enough, the only language with a low complexity tooling wise is Elm

Gabriela Noriega 🏳️‍⚧️ 🇧🇷<a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/ReasonML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReasonML</a> looks cool af!

pospi 🏳️‍⚧️<a href="https://toot.lgbt/@iyalei" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@iyalei</a> right?! Actually I think it's just comforts and the false promises of being able to hack something together quickly that infect all of the imperative programming world. You have to remember a lot of JavaScript folks learned C or Java first, or were trained by others who did. I wish we could bring <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/FlowType" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FlowType</a> back too but Facebook gave up on it to build <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ReasonML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReasonML</a> and since there are <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rust</a> UI frameworks now we might as well fall forward to coding in a proper ML with real type safety 😂

Ben<a href="https://fosstodon.org/@rauschma" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rauschma</a> I use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ReScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReScript</a> every day at work, so I understand the language very well, but I simply cannot get past the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/OCaml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OCaml</a> syntax. I find it incredibly hard to read. It would not surprise me if that were one of the main reasons it has not been adopted more widely.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ReasonML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReasonML</a> was a solution to that but the waters got muddied and I’m not clear now on how usable that project still is.

Schlez<a href="https://mastodon.social/@oriSomething" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@oriSomething</a> Slow compilation is extremely difficult for good web development. The incremental compilation speed in OCaml is very very very very good. Anyway it just tickles my interest, I've been very distant from <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/reasonml" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reasonml</a> ever since I touched Rust but I have a warm place for it in my heart 😁
