I have only worked with ReScript for about a year before switching to ClojureScript (which was a better fit for my project), but I really enjoyed the experience and genuinely wish it would become a more popular alternative to TypeScript for devs who are coming from JS and are looking to dive into FP and static typing. The developer team did a great job with highly optimized and readable JS compilation, great integration and interop with React, JSX support, raw JS and even TypeScript (see GenType) and now it also supports async/await. The website is also really well made and provides good documentation and a nice forum to get help when needed.

However, Melange seems to head in a good direction too and I guess it would be amazing for people who are already familiar with OCaml and want to integrate with libraries and codebases there. So I think both projects are valuable in their own right for different use-cases.

Good to hear they're providing a good dev experience. My only gripe at the time was more of a worry on whether the split was going to be worthwhile because the ML ecosystem is already so small, but I'm glad to hear the project has been effective for you.
