Interesting, can you link me? EDIT: I just tried in the TypeScript Playground (v3.9.2), it's actually rather worse than I thought, it prints not 'false' but the actual function itself as a value...

The long awaited 0.8.0 release from Reason React is out of beta! This includes a lot of the niceties of writing React but in a very fast, type safe language. If this is your first time hearing about Reason, watch a video from its creator (Jordan Walke, creator of React) to learn more: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fG_lyNuEAw&t=11s Fun facts about Reason: - exports TypeScript! If you have a TS project and looking f…
Awesome! Question, say you use TypeScript already, what are the biggest tangible gains in terms of safety (measured by fewer bugs in production) you think can be achieved by using Reason?
