The Facebook ecosystem is a no-go for a lot of people.
Reason seems interesting and I'm glad they shed some of the OCaml syntactic baggage to make it more programmer ergonomic, but it's very unlikely that it'll ever take off. Typescript already has the statically-typed JS market share, and that won't change.
Once Web assembly becomes a mainstream, viable thing, I think we'll see a couple new languages come out that don't have the baggage of legacy like OCaml or Javascript, and could possibly flourish.
