To install watchman on Fedora 26, these are all the hoops I had to jump through.
# The following packages are needed during `make`
# - openssl-devel so you don't get:
# ContentHash.cpp:13:10: fatal error: openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory
# - redhat-rpm-config so you don't get:
# gcc: error: /usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1: No such file or directory
# - python-devel so you don't get:
# pywatchman/bser.c:31:10: fatal error: Python.h: No such file or directory
sudo dnf install openssl-devel redhat-rpm-config python-devel
# The rest is just instructions from

main = drink rum ye scurvies |> yarrrrrr
drink up me hearties =
case hearties of
[] -> me
capn :: lads -> drink up me lads |> up capn
yarrrrrr = text << String.fromInt

Debounce fails if you use it inside your callback. Here is how to fix it.
/*
* This is roughly the code I found. A callback is passed in props,
* and the author attempts to make a debounced version of the callback
* so that it will only trigger at most once every 200ms.
*
* Debounce is used when we are getting lots of events and want to
* avoid a costly operation (e.g. network request) on every one. It
* wraps a callback and returns a debounced callback that will only
* trigger the callback on the newest call when there is a break in
* activity. A common use-case is to request a search as a user types,
