- elcapitan 10y agoI had looked at Frege, but it doesn't seem to have the same traction as other functional languages. Counting on github returns about 10k for each F# and Ocaml, about 60k for Haskell, and 100k for Scala, but about < 200 for Frege.
- dualogy 10y agoYeah compared to .NET there's nothing ML-ish in the F# ballpark (in terms of push/community/basic corporate support = "traction") for the JVM afaik.
- premium-concern 10y agoTrue in the sense that Scala has a magnitude higher number of repos, commercial adoption, libraries, than F# (while being much closer to ML than F# in a few important was).
- dualogy 10y agoWhoops, my bad, the only faint idea about ML I do have is as the "MotherLode" from what I know of modern-day F# / Haskell --- never looked at Scala so far That then should be the actual answer to OP's question
