Seems like nim could be a good replacement? GC when you need it and explicit control when you need that.

- amelius 3y agoFrom the article: > Ideally, a language could provide a spectrum of allocation strategies freely interoperable within a single application. With modes, users can write OCaml with all the usual GC guarantees—but when performance is paramount, opt into the consideration of lifetimes, ownership, and concurrency.
- nerdponx 3y agoNim is such a nice language, I would really love to see some high-visibility corporate adoption for it.
- geodel 3y agoI think it is not getting enough usage because a lot of people love that others should adopt it first.
- nerdponx 3y agoI can sneak it into a few scripts here and there at work, and I can write my side projects in it, but there's only so much I can do.
- dlahoda 3y agowhere it fits? it feels languages are alive as soon as it fits somewhere. rust and zig for example. seems roc or bosque too. go and ts had fit into some industry slot. where nim fits? how it can compete with other new fits and other old?
- yawaramin 3y agoNot for Jane Street. They likely have millions of lines written in OCaml and rely heavily on its type system safety guarantees.
