Adopting a higher-level language where the programmer doesn't have to worry about as much stuff generally comes with some trade-offs. Garbage collection has downsides but for a lot of use-cases they aren't significant. Saying that OCaml has a place in a world where Rust exists doesn't strike me as a very hot take.

Which is exactly one of the subjects on this podcast episode, adding such primitives to OCaml, beyond what it already supports.
