Since you mentioned Scala ... you realize Scala has had those properties for years, don't you?
- jnbiche 10y agoYes, true. I'm probably overstating things. Just excited about the prospect of having these things in Ocaml. Scala is an impressive language but it's a big language. I prefer the relative simplicity of Ocaml and (even more) SML. Also, performance-wise, with multicore and the new optimizations with flambda, Ocaml will be particularly interesting.
