I work alongside the Reason team. We're using it on messenger.com. 25% converted over already. 4 bugs during conversion, and only a single runtime bug in the converted part since last half.

  Converted. From reactjs to reason-react https://github.com/reasonml/reason-react https://github.com/reasonml/reason-react Which imo is a bigger achievement! Being able to gradually convert a js codebase over is one of our main goals.

    Ooooouh that's harsh lol. Sorry for your experience. We're trying to improve it but we're a tiny team that also maintains other features.
