I am waiting for the next Windows release that would allow one to use the bash subsystem from native programs so I can use Reason/BuckleScript with Vscode. OCaml/Windows integration isn't the greatest.

you should be able to use linux VSCode with a win32 X server like mobaxterm right now.

  I am trying to wrap my brain around this one. Do you mean I can run the VSCode under the bash subsystem and connect to an X server? Good to know this is workable.

    Exactly like that. Run the elf binary, connect to PE X server.

BuckleScript itself works fine on Windows. Installs in an npm project with `npm install bs-platform` and good to go from there. Try it out.

  I can run BuckleScript under Windows/Bash. However as I understand it one needs things like merlin working to get a decent IDE experience.

    There's an OCaml VSCode extension powered by merlin. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=hackwaly.ocaml https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=hackwaly...
