Last year I was excited about Elm, this year about Reason. I follow a bunch of Reason folks on Twitter and see lots interesting projects. I also keep seeing React core devs keep dropping hints that React will be rewritten in Reason which makes sense since originally it was written in SML.

Same here. Since hearing about it we have a port of a large project in progress and whilst the typing is nice, the improvement in build time alone looks like making it a worthwhile exercise. Big things to come I suspect, particularly with it feeling like such a natural progression of so much of FB's recent JS work.

> I also keep seeing React core devs keep dropping hints that React will be rewritten in Reason Seems like a natural fit. Wasn't the whole Fiber architecture inspired Algebraic Effects, natively possible in OCaml? Sebastian Markbåge even toyed with adding algebraic effects to JS... wild stuff: https://esdiscuss.org/topic/one-shot-delimited-continuations-with-effect-handlers https://esdiscuss.org/topic/one-shot-delimited-continuations...

We don’t have any plans to rewrite React in Reason right now, sorry! Maybe one day.
