Let's face it, the code we write very rarely resembles the code we send over the wire. Modern web applications are already built with ES6/ES7+, type annotations, JSX, and other language extensions. We treat JavaScript more like a target language: something we compile to, not something we write. If we’re going to treat JavaScript as a compilation target, we should start thinking critically about what we really want in a source language. In this talk, I’m going to try to convince you, through critical ReasonML’ing, that OCaml + ReasonML is one of the most attractive, up-and-coming options to fill this role.
