Cool!

Did you try using the char datatype for it before? It’s at least very convenient if ASCII is sufficient to your needs, since you can check ranges, e.g.:

let isLetter = char =>
  switch char {
  | 'a' .. 'z' | 'A' .. 'Z' | '_' => true
  | _ => false
  }

let isDigit = char =>
  switch char {
  | '0' .. '9' => true
  | _ => false
  }

let isWhitespace = char =>
  switch char {
  | ' ' | '\t' | '\n' | '\r' => true
  | _ => false
  }

But it’s a bit quirky to use since it was inherited from the OCaml standard library, which is why we want to change it a bit (see RFC: RFC: Revise `char` primitive · Issue #7028 · rescript-lang/rescript · GitHub)

I am impressed that you tried to implement it in a whole bunch of languages, I guess you want to compare the strengths and weaknesses of all of them in that blog post.

I am looking forward to it!
