Reason, also known as ReasonML, is a syntax extension and toolchain for OCaml created by Jordan Walke at Facebook.[3] Reason offers a syntax familiar to JavaScript programmers, and transpiles to OCaml.[4] Statically typed Reason (or OCaml) code may be compiled to dynamically typed JavaScript using the BuckleScript compiler.[5]
