On: ReasonML – React as first intended

[crooked-v]

The new context API can probably help with that. Pass an object through context that contains the reducer state of a root level component (or a getState() or whatever), plus a dispatch function. Blam, Redux-equivalent without a separate library.

ReasonReact doesn't have Context, the API is unstable so they aren't binding to it.

The new API as of 16.3 is stable, so I suspect ReactReason will support it soon (if it doesn't already, by default).

Ah, that's great that it's finally settled. RR is on v15 in terms of what it has to support though, so no dice; main focus at the minute seems to be on dropping v15 support and migrating to v16, which cleans up some of the code (particularly w/r/t the async side), but that has to happen before they bind to the new API, so going to be a while.
