reason-improvements.md

ocaml-platform

• type based auto complete
• semantic highlighting
• let%ppx abc = "def"; syntax highlighting
• autocomplete when backspace
• autocomplete on f(g(~expr=here)) sucks
• let.bind auto complete

esy

• seems to lack github: https://github.com/esy/esy/blob/master/docs/using-dev-sources-workflow.md
• format json using prettier
• resolution.source can be only a github link not a local link
• resolutions shouldn't remove any version constraint
• lock on esy-build-package/Build.re
• esy exec-command not working with package, auto adding current package
• scripts support array like esy.build
• RFC proposal build time deps only
• fix: "#{@_linux.alpine.x86_64/_opam_ocaml_secondary_compiler.install}/native-sysroot"

Revery

• multi screen
• high refresh rate

refmterr

• This module doesn't match its signature improvement
• dune build watch

ppx

• Console.log using the typed AST
• ppx concat strings well

dune

• (modes (native object)) with shared library
• bucklescript mode
• rehp integration, maybe pesy?
• mix ppx, like metaquot on sedlex

esy cross

• buildDeps don't need to have a single solution, X depends on Y@1 and Z depends on Y@2 should be possible

Cross Compiler

• native cross compiler
• bootstrap ocamlrun for the native platform
• support multiple targets ocaml compiler(essentially allow to customize the emitter in runtime)
• mock xcode-select

rely

• docs: supress warning ({ test })
• reasonml/reason-native#224
• use state to remove the need of a RunTest

https://reasonml.github.io/

• BS 7.02 and refmt supports to comments with //

ocaml-lsp

• uses esy for bucklescript projects

JSON

• dealing with missing keys

Bucklescript

• Runtime FFI checking

• Integration with webpack + typescript by instantiating a bsb

• string interpolation uses ${var} instead of $var

• syntax to bind this: bind to arr.map(f1).forEach(f2) as arr |> map(f1) |> forEach(f2)

• currying rehp

Opium

• upstream httpaf rebase
• gluten-luv for http/af and h2

reason-language-server

• support to 4.09
• semantic highlight

refmt

• pipe more than 3 functions should always break the line, ex (a |> b |> c |> d)
• if one array item breaks line, all array items should also break line
• improve error type t = { a: int, b: Attributes }
• reasonml/reason#2001
• bug type t = {. ...Com.Github.Eduardorfs.Potato.Unsafe.Please.Stop.unsafe_t};
• also recursive module type using with to substitute value
• use ppx_import to have invalid_node on the ast
• fn(x)\n() isn't fn(x)()
• module on .re .rei has different formatting

Guard

• allow to do that | when starts_with("darwin") => Some(Darwin)

Open

• stop auto converting { open XXX } to XXX.({})

sedlex

• it sucks

Class Syntax

• Methods should always need () =>
• perhaps call methods without any argument as getters
• Modules accept something like Jni.({}) instead of needing to open Jni
• as _ being mandatory is quite weird
• pub for methods and fields seems weird but I need to revisit this
• module missing ; followed by class doesn't auto fill.
• class resiliant to class type x {} if you forgot the semicolon
