Is ReasonML production ready?
This is a bit of a silly question I'm my opinion, because it's a little vauge what it actually means.
Basically they are saying:
- Do other big companies invest in it enough to ensure that it's never going to just become unsupported
- Has it got enough libraries so that I don't have to invest very much to do my daily tasks reinventing the wheel? Are these libraries got stable and active maintainers?
- How many gotchas and rough edges does it have? Will I run into issues that I can't solve easily?
- Can I be more productive than JavaScript?
- Has the syntax and best practices been estblished?
Ok that's a lot of questions, let's try to answer them in turn.
The real question is are you ready to use Reason in production. Remember there's always a trade-off of innovation and stability. Stability only comes from people using it a lot. Admittedly a language as strict as ReasonML is going to more quickly find issues so long as they aren't using more risky features like binding to JavaScript.
