Acknowledgments

• Thanks to the OCaml team, obviously, without such a beautiful yet practical language, this project would not exist. The original type system was inherited from it with lots of modifications to fit with JS ecosystem better.
• Thanks to ninja-build, ReScript also comes with a blazing fast build tool on top of it, ninja is a truly well engineered scalable build tool
• Thanks to Bloomberg and Facebook. This project began at Bloomberg and was published in 2016; without the support of Bloomberg, it would not have happened. This project's funded by Facebook since July 2017
