Summary for May 2026: Delivered a web-based Developer Playground for the ReScript compiler with deployment to rescript-lang.github.io, API refinements, and a streamlined PR bundle staging/preview workflow, enabling faster experimentation and feedback. Enhanced local dependency handling in monorepos to correctly treat transitive dependencies as local packages, reducing false positives during development. Addressed formatting and parsing quality with a Trailing Comment Formatting Fix and a JSON Namespace Parsing Fix after Yojson migration. These efforts improved developer productivity, repository reliability, and tooling consistency, reinforcing the business value of faster, safer iteration and more robust JSON tooling.
