It's not persecution. It's just that recently you can't have a discussion about OCaml without having an Haskell devotee dropping by and implying you should use Haskell instead generally for somewhat spurious reasons (same with Rust but the languages are so different, it's easier to ignore). It gets a bit tiring.

We might have to agree to disagree on this one.

It's a chance everyone uses Lwt then. Pretty much no one uses Async apart from Jane Street.

OCaml has multiple lenses libraries including one written by Jane Street which are not used a lot because mutations are fine. This is not being far behind. It is being practical.
