There are definitely individuals exploring the native-compilation story, for instance bsb-native[0] allows BuckleScript to use OCaml's native compilation tools.

There are definitely individuals exploring the native-compilation story, for instance bsb-native[0] allows BuckleScript to use OCaml's native compilation tools. Jared Forsyth has also been publishing a lot of material[1] about creating cross-platform project using ReasonML. The ReasonML team seem to be taking a conservative approach towards what they officially release. They want to make sure that they have a really good plan on how and where to move forward with each of these stories - async, native compilation, cross-platform project, optimizations, etc. Right now they seem to be focusing on creating a really high quality platform for building front-end web applications, but all of these things are on their mind. I'm actually reminded of the fact that Jordan Walke (initial creator of React) is currently working on a native OCaml/Reason package manager called esy[2], which in my mind is kind of the starting point of the native compilation story: unifying the package and build system of the two ecosystems.
