Would like to know what you think they are, because new efforts by major companies are still using OCaml for lots of things, including the design and and implementation of new languages.

One thing I didn't think about, though, was portability: https://ocaml.org/learn/portability.html https://ocaml.org/learn/portability.html So I'm guessing Swift isn't there yet, and Scala has the ick of a JVM -- it looks like OCaml is easier to get going on a new platform if you have a C compiler.
