Also, Reason (a syntax on top of OCaml) makes OCaml look pleasant.

  OCaml already looks nice <_< (…Once you've used it for a bit. I admit it looks kinda weird at first.) I recall Reason didn't yet support some important part of OCaml syntax, but I don't remember what that was. Though I don't dispute that Reason is a good thing—Erlang saw a lot of growth from Elixir, hopefully Reason will get people into OCaml.

    > OCaml already looks nice <_< I agree; I find Reason to be a completely pointless project except if Facebook hopes to fracture the OCaml community.

      Fortunately Reason compiles to ordinary OCaml compiled modules, so everything they write can seamlessly interop with regular OCaml in both ways. But yeah, I also don't think the Reason syntax is that massive of an improvement: https://xivilization.net/~marek/blog/2016/05/19/reason-lets-see-what-happens/ https://xivilization.net/~marek/blog/2016/05/19/reason-lets-...
