I love the concepts behind React, and I agree this is a huge deal...I just wish it weren't javascript.

I love the concepts behind React, and I agree this is a huge deal...I just wish it weren't javascript. It is a terrible language, and the languages that compile to javascript are a poor substitute (bloated code sizes, interop issues, poor runtime performance, etc). For a framework that is all about state machines (a good thing! All UIs are state machines), I hate that there aren't better ways to model them in the language. I would kill to be able to do React in F# or OCaml.
