Reason is merely a new syntax on OCaml. You can use BuckleScript (BS) to compile to JS, or not use BS to compile to native.

There exists a fast http server in native OCaml:

Let's be a little more specific. "Reason Syntax" is merely a new syntax on OCaml, but ReasonML in general has a much larger scope - which includes every part of the toolchain/workflow up to and including package management, IDE integration, source formatting etc and more.

So Reason is to OCaml a little like Elixir is to Erlang - newer syntax, better tooling, same great foundation.

httpaf is quite low level. We need more abstractions on top of that for daily server development

One recent project which builds a usable layer on top: https://github.com/ostera/httpkit
