Brandon Dail: Critical ReasonML'ing — ReactNext 2017

Let's face it, the code we write very rarely resembles the code we send over the wire. Modern web applications are already built with ES6/ES7+, type annotations, JSX, and other language extensions. We treat JavaScript more like a target language: something we compile to, not something we write. If we’re going to treat JavaScript as a compilation target, we should start thinking critically about what we really want in a source language. In this talk, I’m going to try to convince you, through critical ReasonML’ing, that OCaml + ReasonML is one of the most attractive, up-and-coming options to fill this role.

Great presentation! I loved how simple and accessible the ReasonReact examples are!

Resent Reason have lightly better syntax which copies ELM .. like string concatenation with double plus.

Some more.. instead of double colon ... Tilde for named argu.

I love ELM, . Now ReasonML for some reasons

1. ELM architecture
2. JS interoperability
3. Mutation allowed like scala (required for all types of developers )
4. Fast.

Man, Facebook sure does copy everything (like Snapchat). Everything in Reason is en Elm. In fact, this whole react + redux is nothing but a direct copy of Elm+s architecture.
