ReScript Language Essentials
"ReScript Language Essentials" Master the fundamentals and advanced techniques of ReScript with "ReScript Language Essentials," a comprehensive guide designed for both newcomers and experienced developers seeking to harness the full power of this modern language. The book opens with the motivation, history, and design philosophy behind ReScript, meticulously explaining its unique syntax, robust type system, and relationship to languages like OCaml and JavaScript. Clear instructions walk the reader through setting up a professional development environment, understanding the compilation process, and establishing best practices for efficient, maintainable code. Delving into the heart of the language, you’ll explore ReScript’s approach to primitive and composite types, powerful pattern matching, and the modular architecture that enables scalable software. Detailed chapters cover function definitions, closures, higher-order programming, and the principles of purity and mutation—arming you with the techniques needed for expressive, high-performance applications. Special attention is given to ReScript's seamless interoperability with JavaScript, providing strategies for binding external libraries, managing asynchronous workflows, and applying typed APIs across both client and server contexts. Beyond the essentials, this book equips you for real-world success through practical guidance on testing, debugging, performance tuning, and robust error handling. Readers will discover patterns for fullstack type safety, integration with React and web APIs, and a deep dive into the advanced realm of ReScript—from GADTs and type-level programming to macro-like abstractions and capability-based security. Enriched by curated resources and ecosystem insights, "ReScript Language Essentials" empowers you to build reliable, future-proof applications with confidence and clarity.
Ezra the Scribe
This monograph investigates the literary development of Ezra 7-10 and Neh 8. With a detailed literary critical analysis, the investigation shows that the text was produced in several successive editorial phases for at least two centuries. Thus the final text cannot be used for historical purposes. The oldest text emerged as a short narrative, entirely written in the third person. It describes how a Torah scribe (Schriftgelehrter) called Ezra came from Babylon to Jerusalem to reinstate the written Torah. In the later editorial phases, Ezra's role was transformed from a scribe to a priest who brought cultic vessels to the Temple. The editorial development reveals that the text was originally influenced by Deuteronomy and the (Deutero)nomistic theology. Later, it came under priestly and Levitical influence.
The Ideology of Kokugo

Available for the first time in English, The Ideology of Kokugo: Nationalizing Language in Modern Japan (1996) is Lee Yeounsuk’s award-winning look at the history and ideology behind the construction of kokugo (national language). Prior to the Meiji Period (1868–1912), the idea of a single, unified Japanese language did not exist. Only as Japan was establishing itself as a modern nation-state and an empire with expanding colonies did there arise the need for a national language to construct and sustain its national identity. Re-examining debates and controversies over genbun itchi (unification of written and spoken languages) and other language reform movements, Lee discusses the contributions of Ueda Kazutoshi (1867–1937) and Hoshina Koichi (1872–1955) in the creation of kokugo and moves us one step closer to understanding how the ideology of kokugo cast a spell over linguistic identity in modern Japan. She examines the notion of the unshakable homogeneity of the Japanese language—a belief born of the political climate of early-twentieth-century Japan and its colonization of other East Asian countries—urging us to pay attention to the linguistic consciousness that underlies "scientific" scholarship and language policies. Her critical discussion of the construction of kokugo uncovers a strain of cultural nationalism that has been long nurtured in Japan’s education system and academic traditions. The ideology of kokugo, argues Lee, must be recognized both as an academic apparatus and a political concept. The Ideology of Kokugo was the first work to explore Japan’s linguistic consciousness at the dawn of its modernization. It will therefore be of interest to not only linguists, but also historians, anthropologists, political scientists, and scholars in the fields of education and cultural studies.
