For all those propositions, I have only one question: Why would I use that instead of OCaml ?
OCaml is far from being perfect, but it has lot's of features and a decent community (especially compared to all those hobby/research languages).
OCaml can do pretty much anything except things like image processing and video game programming. I mostly don't care about those things, and if I did, I would use Rust.
Now, from a research point of view, sure, those languages are interesting.
- zem 10y agoi'm in the same boat - i keep an interested eye on developments in the ML-cross-C space, but so far none of them seems compelling to use over ocaml. however, if one of them had a cross-compiler as good as go's, that would be a killer feature. i would really like an ml-like language i could use to develop desktop apps and trivially deliver binaries for multiple platforms.
