React to the Future
summary
React history and claims: React popularizes minimizing state and immutability and achieves roughly a quarter billion downloads per year from npm; JSX removes adoption friction. Reason brings those ideas to the language level by using OCaml types (Hindley-Milner), records are immutable by default with opt‑in mutation, BuckleScript emits idiomatic JS, and Reason Native compiles fast executables (examples: fnm and Oni2 start almost instantly). Build tooling includes easy one-click native builds and a cacheable pipeline used for fast tests.
