I never understood the value proposition of ReasonML. Was it really to make ML more palatable to a corpus of engineers broken to imperative-style languages (and more specifically JS)?
The slogan I heard was “React as a language”, which makes sense.
React is a framework that encourages use of a functional style for your apps. And React is often written in dynamically typed JS. So it makes sense to write React-style apps in a statically typed functional programming language.

I see, thanks. The fact that the two were intertwined was lost on me.
