To add to this, there are at least 3-4 pain points which... are just a pain with ReasonML, that can kinda counteract its type system.

- non-standard ordering of arguments between belt/standard library

- Ocaml's standard library actually generally avoiding the Option/Result type, in preference of exceptions, which is unexpected and a pain since it's an ML.

- package management involves manually adding things to the bsconfig (has this changed?)

- things randomly break between relatively minor Bucklescript versions, they broke something pretty important in like a .x release when I was messing around with it

- server side isn't good. It technically works but all the bindings are old or terribly documented, and you never really know if it's not going to blow up at some point.

Otherwise, I actually quite like it! None of those are actual core language complaints.

The way it deals with async/await also seems pretty tedious.
