Oh man, what a full circle it is 😮

Yes it is! Given the situation with ReasonML I think this is the more stable path, and the ReScript core team would really like to see ppx's being written in pure OCaml. I also would like to split the repo in a native and ReScript version so I figured I do the conversion first, so it's easy to have cherry-pick improvements.

There's a benefit of keeping both native and ReScript code together, as features won't deviate from one another. Am I misunderstanding the split and do you have a good solution for this in mind?

I want to use the rescript compiler hooks instead of ppxlib, that is the direction the ReScript team is going. Any idea how to do that while not splitting the codebase?

I think potentially it could be done with some dune build tool tricks, will explore
