CSS in Reason/OCaml
summary
Parses CSS strings in OCaml/Reason with a ppx preprocessor that emits React components via a bs-emotion binding, implementing the styled-components API so CSS composes as code. Claims: completed in about two months, supports hot reload in the browser, and surfaces compile‑time type errors (example: misspelled color names are rejected before running). Not all CSS is supported yet but uploader reports using it in production and relying on the compiler to catch invalid properties.
