Live reloading example ReasonML React project VSCode compatible

Motivation

TypeScript makes Javascript and ES6 usable for larger teams and projects. ReasonML gives stronger advantages with less effort using a more mature and powerful type system based on formal logic. Using live reloading with a series of code transformations based on watches enables a fluid and articulate programming experience that feels more like automated theorem proving than TDD. This effect stems from the rapid incremental compilation of ReasonML.
