Absolutely. Both are statically typed languages which compile down to JS (strictly speaking, not ReasonML, but Bucklescript) with a sound type system (other than typescript).

But imho Reason is easier to learn for JS developers, especially React developers, because of syntax similarities. Also, interop (which you probably will need in a bigger project) is better in Reason.

Elm is a cleaner approach though, and is very fitting for smaller, self-contained projects.
