Awesome! I looked at Reason several months ago and my impression was, that if you want to do frontend stuff with bucklescript, you are one git-pull and npm install from a working scaffold, but if you want Reason with ocaml for native stuff,

Few friends have experienced the "skip some school and live somewhere abroad with their family" when they were younger. It seemed to me that a full year out of four was fine, but more frequent travels could be distruptive.
