Speaking for myself, I think Reason is a very good thing and rewriting this in Reason or adding a Reason layer is a goal/TODO.

That's awesome and great work.

I know it's dumb that the thing holding me back from OCaml is the syntax, but after giving up on an Om project I've come to accept js will always be the greatest common denominator.

Maybe consider Scala? It's an ML family language with more familiar syntax, and also has a Javascript backend.

I don't blame you, ES6 can be stupid concise and enjoyable. I practice most of my algorithms prep coding in it.

As I recall, Reason is the current project of React originator Jordan Walke and React contributor Cheng Lou. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a Facebook project emerge that allows you to author React apps in Reason with Bucklescript.
