ReScript is not new. In a way it’s as old as JavaScript itself. ReScript is a rebranding of ReasonML (Facebook) and BuckleScript (Bloomberg), which wrap OCaml on both ends. The former is an interface of the OCaml syntax, while the latter makes sure to compile the AST into JavaScript. ReasonML was created by Jordan Walke, the creator of React. ReasonML still exists as a parallel project to ReScript, with a slightly different syntax and mission.

Visual Studio Tools for Xamarin

Visual Studio Tools for Xamarin now supports Xcode 10, which allows you to build and debug apps for iOS 12, tvOS 12, and watchOS 5. See how to get ready for iOS 12 and our introduction to iOS 12 for more details on the new features available.

.NET applications however rely on the ciphers provided by the OS, and the only way to get new ciphers into the OS is through a patch from Microsoft. Unsupported versions of Windows typically do not receive these patches, so over time you can expect an increasing number of websites to stop working with .NET applications.
