I havent actually written any ReasonML, but I once had to review some my former coworker wrote. Thats the extent of my ReasonML experience, so I dont have much of an opinion. However, I was surprised that the ReasonML code I looked at relied on impure functions. I like pure functions so that scares me off a bit from the OCaml as a whole.

Regarding static html/css, I havent done that either, so I dont know about it.

ReasonML (OCaml) allows impure functions but the best practice is to stay pure whenever possible. It's a very pragmatic language so despite providing all the functional and immutable programming features, it allows you to cut through the bureaucracy if you need to.
