This tracks with how I've seen "normal" languages converge on similar, flawed imitations of better type systems through tools and repurposed syntax. Thank you f

This tracks with how I've seen "normal" languages converge on similar, flawed imitations of better type systems through tools and repurposed syntax. Thank you for confirming.
Do you have any recommendations or warnings regarding general languages which reach in the opposite direction? Reason[1] and F#[2] are both examples: they attach pre-existing ecosystems and compile-for-$PLATFORM tools to OCaml-like typing.
OCaml itself is also intriguing. However, I'm concerned that suggesting it for non-personal projects will go over poorly. The "GPL" in its standard library's LGPL license may scare people despite both the linking exception and Jane Street's MIT alternative.
