I work on Reason, mentioned above. The goal of Reason is exactly to expose a polished layer over the OCaml toolchain: http://facebook.github.io/reason/

I really like the idea of Reason & the community is pretty nice from my experience. At the same time, installing it on Windows is a huge pain. Windows 10 was feasible. Windows 7 (because Enterprises can't ever upgrade) is really hard to install it in my experience. I understand this has more to do with OCaml on Windows (which is odd since F# is very similar to OCaml). By the way, I should also mention that F# has Fable which compiles F# to JavaScript. It would be great if the Reason & Fable communities worked together if you're not already.

I was under the impression Reason was a library that let you write build files in OCaml? I'm not sure how this helps your average JavaScript programmer make sense of the source to flowtype.

Edit: Never mind, you're referring to my complaint about the OCaml toolchain. Carry on :D
