I have been using ReScript for (almost) a year as a production programming language. There were a few limitations and confusions at first, (and I don't think it will be replacing TypeScript in any near future) but I can't even think about going back to a work environment uses TypeScript, the dev experience is so good :)
Rescript allows me to write Javascript in a sound type system, while remaining very close to how you would write code in Javascript.
Rescript to me feels like Typescript + a very prescriptive linting system which prevents a lot of problems, and since the linting system wouldn't let you do certain things, might as well get rid of them from the Type checker, this results in a much faster compiler.
