Will things like bsb, bs-platform, bs.deriving, etc. be renamed, now that Bucklescript isn't really a thing? Or is it being kept for legacy purposes

My guesses for a rename would be resb (or rescript-build), rescript-platform, res.deriving.

So the annotations will all work without any prefix.
Then it’ll be just @unboxed, @deriving, etc.
In fact that works already for most of them.

bs-platform itself will probably be renamed to rescript so that you just can do npm i rescript.

I guess when that happens, it will also make sense to rename the remaining tools.
