Type-Safe React with OCaml: A Practical Guide
summary
Claims that OCaml gives a sound type system with 100% accurate and sound inference and practical React bindings compiled by mange into readable JS. Demonstrates using OCaml FFI to bind JS SDKs, pattern matching to eliminate boilerplate, and server rendering with native speed often reaching roughly 50% the speed of Go for simple code. Explains type inference mechanics via Henley Miller, shows a counter component compiled to familiar JSX output, and notes React Native and server APIs work end to end.
