I work with Haskell fairly regularly, and have experience with a few other languages (Python, Racket, C/C++, Java, etc.), but I definitely agree with this sentiment. I am not a fan of OCaml's syntax at all.
I haven't had a chance to check out Reason yet though, so maybe I'll spend some time playing with that soon!

I don't think its syntax is that bad. A bit daunting at first, but it isn't like you need to learn a ton to understand it, so once you have the basics it is pretty readable.
