consider porting core to rescript lang

[ghost]

Of the static site gen space, I like 11ty's philosophy. Consider adopting rescript/reason as your implementation language to get more compile time assurances. Will close immediately, just want to leave this note.

@kanishka-azimi If you want to give it a try, this might help: #1422 (comment)
Otherwise, upvote #117, please.

Close, but I mean more for the engine / core, not just templating

I might get approval to spend a few days providing a proof of concept of converting to rescript/reason for a few source files. Do you see any chance of such a PR getting accepted?

@kanishka-azimi We need @zachleat's thoughts on this, as he's the core contributor and maintainer. Also, he's very busy at the moment, so the PR could sit un-merged for a while. I don't want you to do work which won't get merged. But if Zach is okay with this, go ahead.

Don't mind if it's unmeged for a while. If it sounds acceptable, just note what you consider the least important or least changing source file(s), so I can focus there

FYI, there is also this template engine example using reasonml: https://johnridesa.bike/acutis/ . The author uses it with eleventy's custom plugin api currently.
