## What it is
Revery is a framework for building native, high-performance, cross-platform desktop applications using Reason (OCaml), with React-like and Redux-like libraries bundled in. It compiles to native code with GPU-accelerated rendering, positioning itself as a fast, low-footprint alternative to Electron.

## Use cases
- build cross-platform desktop apps without electron
- create native desktop ui in reasonml or ocaml
- gpu-accelerated rendering for desktop applications
- fast startup desktop apps with low memory footprint
- react-like component model for native desktop development
- alternative to electron for performance-sensitive apps

## When to choose
- you want native performance and instant startup instead of an embedded browser
- your team knows JavaScript-like syntax but wants OCaml-level performance
- you need consistent cross-platform desktop behavior on macOS, Windows, and Linux

## When to avoid
- you need a mature ecosystem with active development and frequent updates
- you prefer JavaScript/TypeScript tooling over Reason/OCaml
- you need extensive third-party UI components or long-term support guarantees

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: desktop-framework, ui-components, graphics, state-management
- domain: desktop-applications, cross-platform, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform, windows
