Have you seen Reason yet? It has pattern matching.

That's pretty much the only thing I like from reason.

it's still very goofy.

<strong> (ReasonReact.stringToElement(string_of_int(count))) </strong>

Compared to

<strong>{ count }</strong> in ReactTS...

The interop with JS is pretty verbose too. The tooling... Doesn't work at all? :p It might get there eventually but it doesn't seem like facebook has more than 1 or 2 engineers working on it.

  <strong> (se(count)) </strong>

I’ve just built a tiny utils.re file that holds a couple of small modules, like the se function above. The built in reducerComponent with a completely flat pattern matching on the action types, values, arity and more is so lovely that I hate going back to regular React + Redux

Can you post that util file as a gist?

MV. Bold choice.

I haven't yet thank you. I like the ocaml influence.

Since you mentioned F# above, have you seen Fable?

ReasonML is OCaml. The syntax is different but the semantic is the same, it uses the same OCaml compiler
