It's fully compatible with nodejs, so super feasible to do backend dev

  Has anyone actually done this in a real app? The last time I looked for nodejs examples, I could only find small POCs. The vast majority of ReasonML material seems focused on the front-end.

    I ran all of my Advent of Code[0] solutions in Node.js - there's nothing specific really about running a ReasonML app in Node.js vs the browser. Except you don't need a module bundler for the former. :) I've also been slowly working on a small CLI app using ReasonML, ReasonReact and react-blessed. There definitely is a dearth of ReasonML server-side examples, libraries and frameworks, though - especially compared to all the front-end chatter. bs-express[1] is actually quite nice, but hasn't seen much attention from the larger community. I would highly recommend it if it's something you're interested in pursuing.

    There's definitely activity on the backend, especially with GraphQL, but we don't have any large success stories to report yet. Here's a very cool native-OCaml GraphQL server you can try out today though: https://github.com/andreas/ocaml-graphql-server https://github.com/andreas/ocaml-graphql-server
