There may be javascript in the build system somewhere, but (correct me if I'm wrong) this appears to be leveraging the ocaml toolchain as a backend for reasonml rather than javascript. In fact, revery is written pretty much entirely in

The more I hear about Reasonml the more it intrigues me. This project is obviously in early stages, but it appears to have found a combination of parts from the ocaml and web development ecosystems that just might work well. All the best!

Yeah cloudflare is silently man-in-the-middling many websites too... Now imagine what could happen if, I don't know, there was some bug that leaked some of that sensitive information that cloudflare deals with throughout the entire web

Google reCaptcha is one of the most pervasive nasty tracking devices because legitimate sites use it for its advertised spam protection without caring about anything else. Suddenly you have Google able to track you on Government sites (like

No, I tell my friends and family to use Firefox. There is more than one decent browser out there. I don't like the idea of everything using the Chromium engine; monoculture _is_ bad and we shouldn't put our eggs in the one basket.

Agreed 100%. After losing multiple emails addresses in the past due to ISP changes, having an email on your own domain is nice. You can then even switch email providers as you wish and your address will follow.
