I addressed that in my other comment. It's not just Elasticsearch. That was one example out of at least 20 I could give you. The fact that there isn't even a client for the world's most popular search database is indicative of the ecosystem as a whole. It's fine if you use OCaml for whatever, but it's not what I'm looking for. Though, I am keeping my eye on this for personal interest: https://reasonml.github.io https://reasonml.github.io

>The fact that there isn't even a client for the world's most popular search database is indicative of the ecosystem as a whole. It indicates that you haven't written one? That's a rather strange attitude, for sure it doesn't have a wrapper for any rest api, what it has is all needed tools for write it, that's what really matters. The tool in repo above does not even use a library, only generated bindings. It's much easier to write a client to a rest api in OCaml than in Go due to derivers [1], atdgen [2] and the power of the language. Take a look at graphql bindings as an example [3] [4].
