Looking at a chart of GitHub and StackOverflow usage[1], OCaml/F# seem almost steady compared to the other functional languages, my suspicion is that Rust absorbed a lot of programmers looking for functional concepts in programming languages.

- evntdrvn 4y agoyeah I’d say usage has been steady, maybe with a slight uptick in interest it feels like. It’s a great platform, in some ways it’s like a secret weapon… I joke that F# is kinda “easy-button Rust” lol
