Moreover it's hard to figure out which Ocaml version is Rescript on? Last i checked it was on 4.06, Do they backport any features, bugfixes?
Now it seems like it's a complete fork with a new syntax. Maybe it serves the interest of people at facebook, but Ocaml users are unlikely to be using this instead of js_of_ocaml.

Ocaml is a moving target, new features are added. Bucklescript was 4.02 for a long time before moving to 4.06. It is unclear what the current status of Rescript is.
