There is a very similar story: Erlang and Elixir. If somebody doesn't know: Elixir runs in Erlang VM (BEAM) and has Ruby-like syntax (Erlang, on its turn, has obscure for many Prolog-like syntax). No doubt, Elixir became more popular than Erlang (at least, judging by Github stars), but still not popular enough (below top20 in any language charts). I think this is because it's still functional language and this distracts many. Furthermore, such separation splitted the community into two camps, writing the same tools/programs, but only in different languages. What's worse, now all job offers contain Erlang/Elixir requirement (which makes no sense to me, frankly). TL;DR: I doubt those guys from Facebook can make Reason significantly more popular than OCaml, no matter what syntax they choose: they also need to change functional paradigm.
