Reason (programming language)

Reason, also known as ReasonML, is a syntax extension and toolchain for OCaml created by Jordan Walke, who also created React, at Facebook.[2] Reason offers a syntax familiar to JavaScript programmers, and transpiles to OCaml.[3] Statically typed Reason (or OCaml) code may be compiled to dynamically typed JavaScript using the ReScript compiler.[4]
