  There are some really cool projects popping up with ReasonML - here are a few: - A package manager like NPM, but for native code: https://github.com/esy/esy https://github.com/esy/esy - A fast Node version manager: https://github.com/Schniz/fnm https://github.com/Schniz/fnm - A fast replacement for dotenv-cli: https://github.com/ulrikstrid/reenv https://github.com/ulrikstrid/reenv - A fast JS bundler: https://github.com/fastpack/fastpack https://github.com/fastpack/fastpack - A native language server: https://github.com/jaredly/reason-language-server https://github.com/jaredly/reason-language-server The OCaml language and toolchain is very powerful... and I do believe ReasonML makes it more approachable, at least for a wider audience of developers comfortable with JavaScript-style syntax.

    It's hyperbole. Relative to larger languages, there are few users.

      Yes, there are also poor languages with many users :-)
