ReScript is a robustly typed language that compiles to efficient and human-readable JavaScript. It comes with a lightning fast compiler toolchain that scales to any codebase size.
ReScript 12 arrives with a redesigned build toolchain, a modular runtime, and a wave of ergonomic language features.
Taking another look, I see four little rectangles that seem to match the risers close to the camera at the landing, but far from the rocket. I think they may have actually retracted. That would be neat.
It makes more sense than someone going out and grabbing them during the short flight. Those things would need to be sturdy and attached to not melt or blow away during the launch, and they would be hot.
edit: If you open up the first image on the submission and look to the left of the crane, you can see what look like the risers. They do seem to come out of the ground. You can see the same trees as the landing shot.
edit: I didn't realize the page had more videos under the Download button. I was wrong about the rectangles, but you can definitely see it's landing in a different spot in the onboard video (#3). You can still see the risers when it lands.
If you're a fan of both Daft Punk and the 80s City Pop genre and if you were around when City Pop was rising in 2019 then you could have listened to the mashup "Something about Plastic Love"[1]. Beautiful blend. The original got taken down - and second grade recreations remain.
Also Plastic Love is the best Pop song if you go by Vice[2].
When we talk about cities with a grid plan, all the cited examples in sibling comments pale in comparison to Mohenjo-daro. It existed around 2500 BC and one of the iconic places is the Great Bath which is the "earliest public water tank of the ancient world".
Tenochtitlan existed in the 15th century which is fairly recent.
One of the reasons that comes to my mind is - it could have been problematic look for only Microsoft (Copilot) to have access to GitHub for training AI models - à la monopolizing a data treasure trove. With anti-competitive legislation catching up to Google to open up its Play Store, this could have been one of key reasons why this deal came about.
Copilot can choke on my AGPL code on GitHub, that was used for training their proprietary models. I'm still salty about this, sadly looks like the world has largely moved on.
It really feels like a digital form of colonialism; they come in take everything, completely disregard the rules, ignore intellectual copyright laws (while you still have to obey them), but when you speak out against this suddenly you are a luddite that doesn't care about human progress.
> Silicon Knights had "deliberately and repeatedly copied thousands of lines of Epic Games' copyrighted code, and then attempted to conceal its wrongdoing by removing Epic Games' copyright notices and by disguising Epic Games' copyrighted code as Silicon Knights' own
> Epic Games prevailed against Silicon Knights' lawsuit, and won its counter-suit for $4.45 million on grounds of copyright infringement,
> following the loss of the court case, Silicon Knights filed for bankruptcy
The Claude terms of service [1] apparently preclude Anthropic or AWS using GitHub user data for training:
GitHub Copilot uses Claude 3.5 Sonnet hosted on Amazon Web Services. When using Claude 3.5 Sonnet, prompts and metadata are sent to Amazon's Bedrock service, which makes the following data commitments: Amazon Bedrock doesn't store or log your prompts and completions. Amazon Bedrock doesn't use your prompts and completions to train any AWS models and doesn't distribute them to third parties.
If only projects like Bun/Deno/Node added runtime support for ReScript instead of TypeScript, collectively as the web-tooling industry, we'd be in a better place. But you can't win against the MS's marketing budget.
Also in hindsight, ReScript diverged away from OCaml, but the ReScript development team could have gone further by creating a runtime for ReScript. Then again I don't blame them - they are polishing the dev experience of ReScript and React.
This is the decade of writing shiny new runtimes - I hope somebody writes a ReScript runtime. Imageine ReScript, Core, rescript-webapi, typechecker, re-analyze, plus a bundler minifier etc baked into the runtime like Bun. Sounds like an interesting value proposition. Fingers crossed.
> I use TS because of its ubiquity, but I think there's the possibility for a future where a system a little more like Flow gets baked into the language.
Have you looked into ReScript? It is basically a sound type system + JavaScript-like syntax. It inherits the type system from OCaml. You might like it. They recently released version 11.
