here's the thing, _I don't think ReasonML is dead_! I've tried to dig for more clarity in the GitHub issue trackers and come up with mostly nothing. I am starting to get the feeling there is some kind of dispute or falling out between the maintainers of the two projects.

ReasonML isn't dead, but the way I heard the story it has always been a spare time project not a properly funded FB team. There was just enough spare time early on to get the community excited.

From the same source, I heard ReScript does have funding behind it.

Maybe they simply disagreed about the syntax...

Quite the opposite, Reason v4 looks to be taking inspiration from the changes ReScript has made.
