Reason, also known as ReasonML, is a syntax extension and toolchain for OCaml created by Jordan Walke 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 BuckleScript compiler.[4]

The Reason community officially provides ReasonReact as a solution for React based web applications.[5][6]
