- eatonphil 6y agoSure, but there's no equivalently mature OCaml-like language for the JVM (Scala doesn't count)
- Ivoah 6y agoAsking as someone with no OCaml experience but who quite enjoys Scala, why does it not count?
- dkarl 6y agoI don't know OCaml, so I can't give you a great answer, but I know that OCaml has a different type system that has some features that Scala 2 lacks, such as union types.
- yawaramin 6y agoOCaml doesn't have union types. It has what it calls variants, and what is generally known as Algebraic Data Types. So does Scala 2.
- eatonphil 6y agoThey are radically different languages, even if they're from the same family. Scala is about as similar to OCaml as Rust is to OCaml. Rust and Scala are a world apart from OCaml and Standard ML in terms of language complexity. And then F# literally has an OCaml compat mode because they are so similar (F# has a bunch of convenient syntax extensions if you don't mind not using the compat mode).
- jalude 6y agoHuh, I haven't had any library issues with c# for years. Although your right, the js and jvm ecosystems are larger. I don't think it is an issue.
- moron4hire 6y agoThere is definitely a quantity vs quality issue in the JS world. I don't think it's fair to say JS' ecosystem is better than C#'s because it's bigger. There's a hell of a lot of shit code on NPM.
