Implementation partially in OCaml! (But why don't we use Ocaml again?)

  As I understand the first (development) versions was in OCaml, but now the compiler is completely self-hosting.

  > But why don't we use Ocaml again? Rust offers better control over memory layout, more predictable resource usage and a fuller concurrency model. If it works out it will be a good replacement for ocaml, especially for systems development.

    Also, the syntax of Rust is less frightening for people who don't know Ocaml.

    Rust is also natively unicode-aware. OCaml is not.
