That's helpful, thanks.
The recent syntax switch[1] does feel like it will further fragment the community.
And TypeScript has some pretty attractive functional projects:

- brmgb 6y agoThere isn't much to fragment to be honest. From what I have seen, there seems to be little buy-in for Reason in the Ocaml community which is not particularly surprising considering it's supposed to solve a pain point no one in the community actually has (Ocaml syntax is fine - it's obviously more Algol-like than C-like but clearly the existing community doesn't care). Reason seems to be mostly pushed by Facebook towards Javascript developers. That might work. Then again, esy is nice.
