About Reason

Reason was created in 2016 by Facebook to make OCaml more accessible to JavaScript developers. It aimed to provide a syntax familiar to JavaScript developers while leveraging the performance and type safety of OCaml. The goal was to facilitate seamless interoperation with JavaScript through BuckleScript, enhancing developer productivity and code reliability.

Strengths of Reason included strong type safety, performance, and seamless interoperation with JavaScript via BuckleScript. Weaknesses involved a smaller community, steeper learning curve compared to other languages, and limited tooling support. Competitors included TypeScript, Elm, and PureScript.
