> Ever wanted a language like JavaScript, but without the warts, with a great type system, and with a lean build toolchain that doesn't waste your time?
> ReScript looks like JS, acts like JS, and compiles to the highest quality of clean, readable and performant JS

## About Tom
In the words of his colleague:
"Tom has the ability to explain complex issues to team members who may not be as technically minded in a way that they not only understand, but can then make informed decisions upon.
Further to the above, Tom has also been my ‘go to person’ on many occasions when I needed some guidance when working with JavaScript, TypeScript, React and more. There is no doubt in my mind that Tom has a long and successful career ahead of him."
