I was on the latest episode of @deadcode.website to talk about @rescript-lang.org! If you've heard the name and wondered what's going on with it in 2025, give the episode a listen!

Dear #fsharp, we're asking again about a possible Fantomas default change: github.com/fsprojects/f...

With 500+ downloads a day and only ~130 votes, we simply don’t have enough data yet. Absolute numbers matter before making such a decision.
[Poll] Consider changing the default of fsharp_multiline_bracket_style · Issue #3200 · fsprojects/fantomas
Hello everyone, I recently had a conversation about how Fantomas formats records by default (fsharp_multiline_bracket_style = cramped). There’s a configuration setting for this: fsharp_multiline_br...

Real talk: without a challenger like @bun.sh this would never have happened.
Node excitement 😉

Congrats to @marcoippolito.dev on making it official: type-stripping in Node 25 is now declared to be stable 🎉

You can run: node index.ts

The capabilities have not changed since Node 24. This is purely a maturity indicator.
Type stripping is now stable.
Enjoy 🌞

Been building a @rescript-lang.org MCP server lately, letting an LLM truly see a codebase.
If you haven’t met ReScript before, this one’s still worth watching . It has a clear case of how localized MCP servers can lift developer tooling.

Today, we’re announcing the preview release of ty, an extremely fast type checker and language server for Python, written in Rust.

In early testing, it's 10x, 50x, even 100x faster than existing type checkers. (We've seen >600x speed-ups over Mypy in some real-world projects.)

Never use your default branch to send PRs in GitHub!
Maintainers can't push to that branch, even though if you enabled "Maintainers are allowed to edit this pull request."

The editor tooling in #ReScript has immense potential. I'm very happy to be among the core contributors and learn from the best!
Even with a little code tour.
