I've never compare languages just because of its features and syntax, benchmarks is all I care the most.Production ready, Developer experience, Cross platform and Community is the one thing I am influenced at most.

That said. I wish Reason could grow much more to compete with other big tech companies. I have high expectation to its capabilities.

Isn't Reason backed by Facebook?

Kinda.

I think they wrote parts of some of their apps with it, but I think mostly because of it's compile-to-js features and less because of the native stuff.

Sorry, I was referring to ReasonML and Revery as it grows. I only saw the revery repo and not the ReasonML. Sorry if it was misunderstood. Reason is being backed by facebook, yet they're focusing on React and React Native as they're JSX and React Community loved it.

As far as I know, the proof of concept of React was written in OCaml

Actually standard ML, which is a very close cousin.
