There is some cool stuff for OCaml, that is not (yet) possible in Rust, e.g. building a unikernel using MirageOS (https://mirage.io/ https://mirage.io/)

- sidkshatriya 6y agoIt’s very much possible to build a unikernel in rust. Google ‘rust unikernel’ and you’ll get results. In fact I would argue that rust is much more suited to write low level things like operating systems and unikernels than ocaml. Having said that mirage is very cool. It is a unikernel and it has garbage collection. So it’s easy to write robust and secure services! Yeah anything written in rust will probably be faster but then unless you’re a mega company and have mega size deployments this should not really matter to you. Mirage should serve your needs well if you need unikernels
