OCaml is one of my favourite languages. It's such a sweet spot in terms of conciseness and performance - yes there are a few language more concise and a few that have faster implementations but I can't think of any that are both as fast and as concise.
Tooling has come a long way too - very impressed by dune, it lets me do my favourite thing in the world which is hit save and run my tests automatically.
I'd use it a lot more if the ecosystem was bigger. Just can't justify a better language when I'd have to implement my own, idk, mutable ordered dictionary.
