ReasonML and You - A Fireside Chat with Mike
summary
A ReasonML-based toolchain called revolt bundles PS React Native bindings, a project generator, a CLI and a navigation library; it uses BuckleScript plus Metro so you run two bundlers and it aims to hide native code. Type-level fixes stop Animated bugs by separating animated kinds, docs and examples are shipped, navigation gains native-thread gestures and declarative APIs, and several pieces are working while navigation and the CLI remain actively in progress.
