Rescript and Functional Programming

Thank you for the link. It’s a real bummer that it’s in yet another syntax I have to learn, but I might take a look regardless. Perhaps you know good OCaml resources instead that would translate over well to Rescript? I would be more willing to learn a syntax for language that I might actually use in the future.

ML syntax is very close to OCaml, you can use this reference to account for the differences: https://people.mpi-sws.org/~rossberg/sml-vs-ocaml.html

I understand it’s a bummer not having content directly in ReScript syntax, but the learning value of this course is great enough that I still recommend it. It’s like when college students were taught to program in Scheme instead of say Java. In this case it’s not that big of a difference, and I honestly think it’s the best way to get a solid grounding in typed FP.

If you are looking for something closer though and don’t mind ReasonML syntax, there is also my book: https://www.packtpub.com/product/learn-type-driven-development/9781788838016

I was taught Java in college so I can’t really relate to your analogy :slight_smile:
I get your point though, in fact I already enrolled to the course and I’m checking it out as we speak.

Thanks
