I think Rust kind of stole OCaml’s thunder. It has most of the same benefits, with a mostly familiar syntax and a lot of industry buy-in. And with recent versions, I never find myself fighting the borrow checker like I used to.
- pjmlp 6y agoI rather have the productivity of a tracing GC. I don't see Rust being the best option for anything other than low level systems code.
- vmchale 6y agoReally? Just made me more reluctant to use a language without sum types :p
- zucker42 6y agoI don't know. I think Scala and F# have stolen OCaml's thunder more than Rust. While Rust has been inspired by ML, OCaml and Rust have much different usecases.
- srean 6y agoOther than interop with .NET does F# bring anything more ? Perhaps a little cleaner syntax. One thing F# does not bring is Ocaml's powerful module system

- zucker42 6y agoI'd agree that interop with .NET is the main advantage of F# over OCaml. My point was more that I think OCaml competes mostly with other functional and more generally GCed languages, not a language like Rust.
