Fair comment. But I have used F# a little which is heavily influence from OCaml. IMHO until you have atleast a soft real time problem that you are solving, it just isn't worth worrying about code performance. It's more important to worry about developer performance. I know that type inference does help with that. My bad I didn't follow the scala link. But the post says, "lift code is as clean and brief as Rails, yet performs 6 times faster and is multithreaded. Additionally, because Scala is strongly typed, the compiler catches type errors." To me these aren't real advantages. It's like Java having a lot of libraries. So what, it still takes 3 times as long to do anything in it. Who care if there is more code to go around.
