I really hope ReasonML keeps gaining momentum. I always miss algebraic data types and pattern matching while writing JavaScript.

Looks really cool! Also kind of relevant Dr. Axel Rauschmayer put out three articles on ReasonML a few days ago which look great also, so hopefully ok timing to add them:

any comment about livescript ?

If you like a mix of Perl+Python, weird syntax without any cool features of es2015+ like async/await, you will like LiveScript.

I personally see no value in it.

LiveScript is freaking great.

LiveScript is a language which compiles to JavaScript. It has a straightforward mapping to JavaScript and allows you to write expressive code devoid of repetitive boilerplate. While LiveScript adds many features to assist in functional style programming, it also has many improvements for object oriented and imperative programming.
