Looking forward to more great ideas in the future of ways to 'fix' Javascript.

I'd never heard of this, so here are a couple things I think are true after poking around a bit:

• TypeScript is a strict superset of JavaScript that compiles to JavaScript, while ReScript is unique language that compiles to JavaScript.

• ReScript is apparently a re-brand of "Reason(ML)", which is apparently derived from OCaml.
