What Is create-melange-app?
create-melange-app is an opinionated CLI tool for quickly getting
started with Melange, a
compiler for compiling OCaml
and ReasonML to
JavaScript. It is geared at feeling familiar for developers coming from a
JavaScript or TypeScript background and focused on enabling them to be
productive as quickly as possible.
If you want to learn more about OCaml, ReasonML, and Melange, check out Dillon Mulroy's conference talk on Melange and how it can be a more type safe solution for your apps than TypeScript.
