Incredible, but you are correct. Pegs 1 CPU in FF and while it loads, it barely scrolls.
Pretty sure it was the gif. I've disabled it. Could you try again?

#72This page is completely unusable due to lag. From the other comments it seems this is FF specific. One would think FB would have the resources to test new pages at least on common browsers before publishing. Edit: The fix came quickly though.
Thanks, we're looking into how to fix the perf in FF. Meanwhile, it works on my tiny mobile cell phone.

But otherwise, Reason looks very cool. A nice mashup of technologies to create something that certainly looks more useful than the status quo. I hope this takes off, but I think the biggest challenge nowadays, even for good technology, is finding an audience amidst a plethora of choices. Technology, as always, is a popularity contest.

#76I for one welcome the syntax. I run the OCaml meetup in Silicon Valley and syntax is definitely an issue for newcomers. This makes it easier for other programmers to instantly just jump into OCaml/ML rather than ask about what is `in` or what is `let foo = function`, etc etc. EDIT: Hosting a Meetup this friday at 6pm in San Francisco about Reason and how to instantly start using it, http://www.meetup.com/sv-ocaml/eve…

#78 @media (min-width: 1180px) {
body:not(.no-literate) .content-root {
background-color: #fdfcfc;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 780px 0 #fff, inset 781px 0 #e7e7e7, inset 790px 0 3px -10px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);
box-shadow: inset 780px 0 #fff, inset 781px 0 #e7e7e7, inset 790px 0 3px -10px rgba(0,0,0,0.05);
}
}
Removing it in the Firefox style editor restores normal performance.Edit: And they have commented out the box-shadow! Hah.

#80Ok, it might be the end of the day for me and I'm denser than usual, but I can't understand what is this? Ocaml to JS transpiler? Checked this out, but the reason still eludes me: https://ocaml.io/w/Blog:News/A_new_Reason_for_OCaml (pun intended)
It plugs into the existing OCaml compiler toolchain [1], which is quite smart. So it's basically an interface to OCaml that shares the stability and features of the OCaml compiler and runtime. [1]: http://facebook.github.io/reason/#how-reason-works
