Type-safe static site generator in ReScript.

ML-family types meet the JavaScript ecosystem.

Who Is This For?

• ReScript developers who love the language

• Former BuckleScript users seeking modern tooling

• Teams wanting type safety without leaving the JS ecosystem

• Anyone frustrated by runtime type errors in Node SSGs

Why rescribe-ssg?

ML-Family Type Inference

Write code naturally. Types are inferred. Errors are caught at compile time.

let buildPage = (page: page) => {
  let html = page.content->Markdown.toHtml
  html->Template.apply(page.frontmatter)
}
// Types inferred, errors caught

Readable JavaScript Output

The generated JavaScript is readable and debuggable. No runtime overhead from the type system.

Full JS Ecosystem Access

npm packages work seamlessly. Bindings are type-safe. Best of both worlds.

Pattern Matching for Content

Variant types and pattern matching make content handling elegant.
