Thanks for the feedback. At this stage the goal is purely to dabble in FP with "Advent of Code" style mini-programs, and basically opening my developer chakras.

Thanks for the feedback. At this stage the goal is purely to dabble in FP with "Advent of Code" style mini-programs, and basically opening my developer chakras. An added benefit would be to use this new language at work, which means that the size of the ecosystem (3rd-party modules, frameworks, etc.) can be a factor - one in which I guess OCaml is behind F# and Reason?

Note that OCaml and Reason are the same language with a different syntax. So when you're learning one, you're learning the other. There are some ecosystem differences because you can target native compilation, or JavaScript compilation. But otherwise the concepts carry over.
