Great work @lil5 ! This is definitely an area that needs attention. We recently did some work (that hasn’t been properly packaged for end use yet) for: Formatting all example code in docstrings...

@zth The json gives me the doc strings: https://rescript-reasonably-typed.netlify.app/reference/array-async/arrayasync/ But before adding it to the json it adds page breaks if the text is too long, I...

We don’t currently support that syntax, but I really think we should, given it’s so common in the JS ecosystem. Reading up on the semantics, it seems the behavior should just be to drop one leading *...
View ArticleExperiment: Allow inline records in externals to simplify writing bindings
In v12 we’ve added support for inline/nested records - being able to define records nested in records, without having to define a type for each record separately. It looks like this: type person = {...
View ArticleExperiment: Allow inline records in externals to simplify writing bindings
I often define long and one-off records for the optional parameters/options argument of a js function, so this can be very useful to simplify bindings! Out of curiosity, why can’t this be used in...

It could be extended to allow that, just wasn’t included in the initial PoC. But it shouldn’t be hard to include if it adds value.
View ArticleRFC: private by default for values
are we ever going to see this? it makes so much more sense than .resi-files to me, because using .resi-files is “public by default” (until you add the .resi-file and start writing it). i truly, truly...

RFC: Variant maps
Jane street has a similar thing, first class field values via a PPX. A map that allows enum variants as keys and compiles to JSON still seems like a natural way to handle this. I’ll see if it would be...

Yeah we should probably setup something that mirrors all Tweets to BlueSky. Manually copying them over is tedious. I think thanks to ATProto you can also date them back to the date of the original...

It’s really hard to find the community packages page, it would be helpful to have it available from a link in the navbar. I haven’t found this listing until I happened to click the right link in...

Do you think it’s useful? I just google stuff instead. We actually wanted to sunset it. It was mainly a sacrifice because of a little redesign though. @joshderochervlk any ideas?
