Yes, I meant that too, sorry for being ambiguous: the error messages also work out-of-the-box for OCaml syntax of BuckleScript via the same bsc-flags, but not (yet) on OCaml native compiler.
The blog post says its available for bsb-native?
https://reasonml.github.io/community/blog/
What is the downside of bsb-native?
Why does it contain bsb in its name, when it compiles into native OCaml?
Itâs a javascript-oriented build tool for the OCaml compiler. Like jbuilder, but trying to provide more compatibility for the bucklescript ecosystem and people who are used to it.
Do they work for native code today?
OCaml compiler messages happen to be still not very readable.
OCaml Platform seems to even yield the OCaml messages for Reason today.
Thatâs a straight downgrade. o.O
Some errors literally are telling me âsyntax errorâ and nothing else.
Reason improved that an eternity ago, and it seems like a missed opportunity to adopt that.
I find it difficult to imagine, that a language community has the chance to integrate a vastly improved error library, and doesnât do so for 6 years.
I mean, thatâs a night and day difference.
Does really nobody care to improve the atrocious error messages that are currently used?
Oh, the irony!

Alice: I donât understand error messages from my code.
Bob: write simpler code.
