Description

Prerequisite for this is a new version of Core and a rescript version with the migrations feature being released.

  • Core is now Stdlib to avoid name clashes when migrating
  • Mention how the Stdlib being internal again allows for more optimizations
  • Demonstrate migration on a small project

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research the automatic migration feature in ReScript, understand the role of Stdlib, and create a small project to demonstrate the migration process. Write comprehensive documentation including steps and code examples.
