Basically, you are right. I would just add that ReasonML's JavaScript compiler, BuckleScript, comes with a scaffolding system so it's pretty easy to get started with a ReasonReact project:



# Make sure you have write access to /usr/local/.../node_modules
$ npm install --global bs-platform
$ bsb -init my-reasonreact-project -theme react
$ cd my-reasonreact-project
$ npm install
$ bsb -make-world # compile all dependencies
$ bsb -w # watch mode
# Start hacking...
