Native Reason support

[baransu]

As described in the documentation, this library currently is built with BuckleScript in mind. I'm exploring native Reason database libraries and this seams as a perfect fit as most of the abstract are not tight to BuckleScript besides Belt. and Js. modules. It should be fairly easy to extract into shared package (https://tech.ahrefs.com/how-to-write-a-library-for-bucklescript-and-native-22f45e5e946d).

One barrier is that I have quite a lot of random junk in Utils.re which relies on Belt. the query builder and rendering parts would be relatively straightforward with that issue solved, but other parts have a big reliance on bs-json and probably a lot of assumptions about being JavaScript (e.g. bs.xyz, etc). Perhaps there are ways to replicate these APIs in native, but it seems like a large project.

There is native Belt packaged by Jared: https://github.com/jaredly/belt besides that the biggest issue would be bs-json and replacing random usage of Js module

This would be pretty awesome indeed !

btw @baransu is there a reasonml sqlite3 binding somewhere ?

[baransu]

https://github.com/paurkedal/ocaml-caqti seems to support sqlite3

Thanks for the link @baransu !

That native Belt library could be super useful :)

TableCloth might be an interesting avenue as well.
