New major dev release available
The new major version of BuckleScript is coming -7.0.0-dev.1 is now released for testing!
We are maintaining 5.*
and 6.*
for OCaml 4.02
and 4.06
for a while,
since this release we are moving forward and focusing on release 7.* (for OCaml
4.06).
This is a major release comes with lots of nice features listed here.
We talk about some highlights here
refmt upgraded to latest, it comes with better error message
OCaml Records compiled into JS objects
This is one of the most desired features, it is finally landed.
See the generated code below for excitement!
REtype t = {
x: int,
y: int,
z: int,
};
let obj = {x: 3, y: 2, z: 2};
let obj2 = {...obj, y: 4};
JSvar obj2 = {
x: 3,
y: 4,
z: 2
};
var obj = {
x: 3,
y: 2,
z: 2
};
This new change makes record much more useful and its interaction with
private
type; unboxed option type will make interop with JS much nicer!
As always, we continue improving our optimizer in various commits, we belive that not only a better language but also an implementation of high quality is key to push typed functional programming into industry.
Happy hacking!
