I had much the same experience. I'd be interested to try it for general purpose programming, but the setup procedure is so tied into doing web work that I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing.

What's Reason's debugger story like?

Red (https://github.com/reasonml/red) provides a useable frontend to the ocaml debugger. If your code compiles with bucklescript (most code will), the debug experience using node and the chrome inspector is surprisingly good even without source maps. The compiled ocaml maps to remarkably straight forward javascript for most code. I used both while developing Immutable-re.
