That's too bad, because all of the marketing (at least around the time I initially looked into it) was something like "OCaml for humans". The JS bit was mentioned as a footnote, but then when I looked at it, JS was the primary target.
I was half hoping that Reason would fix some problems that keep me (and probably many others from OCaml):
* Fragmented build tooling ecosystem with no outstanding options (ideally the Reason community would build a standard tool that improves on other options)
* Fragmented standard library ecosystem with no outstanding options (ideally the Reason community would standardize on a std lib, but this might be overly optimistic)
* Syntax (obviously this is Reason's target problem, but not the most important issue)
* Parallelism (well, Reason probably would never address this one)
- nv-vn 9y agoI think it stands to fix the fragmented ecosystem by shear force. The masses will decide what will become the de facto standard. For now, it seems like jbuilder will be the winner.
