Thank you for taking the time to reply, Jordan, but none of what you posted is relevant to my concerns from the above two comments.

I believe it does address part of your comments. At the very least:

"And then we have the ReasonML project that has seen even less activity recently"

You comment seemed to be based on the assumption that the Reason syntax is the sum total of the Reason project, and I provided examples that would adjust that frame of reference. See the high level goal I mentioned - bring fast development, fast running, fully type safe programming to the largest audience possible. Syntax is one important piece, but not everything, and it's not everything under the ReasonML project umbrella.

Ah, you're right. I did judge the Reason project by the number of commits its main repo has seen in the past year.

But surely you'll agree that "fast development, fast running, fully type safe programming" has been achieved years ago, and any incremental improvements coming from the BS project are just that - incremental.

You forgot the most important part: "to the largest audience possible". I think that's the biggest disconnect here.
