Reminds me of CoffeeScript, and look where that went.

I'm not saying CoffeeScript is bad, nor ReScript. I just wouldn't use them for commercial purposes because its likely that most CoffeeScript projects today are legacy and I suspect ReScript will be the same in the future.

CoffeeScript is a language without static typing. Despite this, CoffeeScript actually made a real revolution when it was introduced.
