So this is Reason for WASM? The compiler is written in Reason [1]. This might explain its Ocaml resemblance. Some people here mention Rust, but don't forget that Rust inherited some from OCaml as well (the early version of compiler was written in OCaml [2].)
Some say OCaml is a language for writing a language. I thought it was a joke, but maybe that's true for good reasons. (Some compiler textbooks use ML too [3].)
