i enjoy using ocaml a lot, but the lack of a good orm and the bad windows support are indeed very painful. the tooling used to be bad, but at least under linux i'm pretty happy with it these days for my small hobby projects. it's one of those languages that i'd love to be able to use at work; i miss the type system when i'm doing c++.

Having worked with and without ORMs, I'm not sure what a "good ORM" is. On the other hand, a somewhat type-safe generic SQL query builder would be very nice to have.

  the other end of the process is pretty useful too - unmarshalling raw sql results into ocaml objects or records, converting foreign keys into references, etc.
