It’s kind of scary that Dan Abramov doesn’t know about ML languages or typescript... I hope that he is just being humble, because otherwise I wonder if it was a complete lie when Facebook said that they were pushing on ReasonML instead of react.js. I know that he was not initially involved and that the first prototype used ocaml as a primary language before falling back to JavaScript. I really appreciate Dan work and his multiple and very helpful posts, but as someone that enjoys functional languages and hopes to see a full featured ML react, or at least a full support for typescript, I really hope that Dan can see the advantages in the “functional way” given that he is now one of the main actors.
