A short history of ReScript (BuckleScript)

Maybe, but even if that were a serious suggestion (I presume it isn’t), that won’t actually solve the issue, which is that the ReasonML ecosystem was built around the Bucklescript compiler and its tools, not the standard compiler.

One result of this is that people who invested money and labor into building projects on top of ReasonML because they needed compatibility with an existing OCaml code base now get to throw away their work. The folks who built such things believed that they were joining up with an emerging ecosystem, but that ecosystem is gone.
