Hmmm… maybe you would like using OCaml syntax instead of ReasonML syntax (both compiled to JS by Bucklescript) if you want a less verbose syntax. Although in that case not sure how you can use JSX. There is the bucklescript-tea project but instead of JSX it uses an Elm-style list-of-list representation of the DOM.
Maybe someone knowledgable over on the ReasonML Forums would know how you could use ReasonReact and JSX (which like you said is just calls to React.createElement) with the less verbose OCaml syntax. It must be possible I’ve just not seen examples.
I’m not as interested in the syntax but the excellent inferred typing (without using TS or Flow) is the big win for me. Biggest drawbacks is having to find (or write) bindings to random 3rd party JS libraries (if you need them) and the relatively small (but friendly) community. Anyway it might be close to what you are looking for.
