ReasonML is a new syntax for OCaml, developed by Facebook with a heavy influence from JavaScript.

This talk provides a brief overview of Reason, explaining its origins and why it’s so useful. The talk will walk through some simple code snippets, and demonstrate how Reason can be compiled to JavaScript to integrate with existing codebases, including React.

Finally, you’ll be introduced some interesting open source projects and libraries in the Reason ecosystem. Although it's a very new technology, there's already a lot of excitement about it in the JavaScript community, and core contributors include some of the team behind React JS. Reason was created in order to take advantage of OCaml’s strengths whilst keeping the syntax familiar for JS developers.
