Not an expert, but I was paid to write OCaml and Haskell for several years. There are pros and cons but my conclusion is that Haskell has cool features but is too complex. I can iterate faster in OCaml, with the same safety benefits. Learning curve is also less steep for beginners. I think it's also more suitable for programming in the large thanks to the module system.
I'm pretty sad that OCaml isn't more popular than it is.
- IWeldMelons 2y agoI think OCaml needs a face lift to make it look like Rust.
- yodsanklai 2y agoFun fact: the first Rust compiler was written in OCaml
- debugnik 2y agoThat's kind of a thing already, the ReasonML syntax (not to be confused with ReScript, which is a fork of both this syntax and the toolchain). The dune build system supports ReasonML out of the box, I think.
- itishappy 2y agoI believe they did that and called it Rust.
- IWeldMelons 2y agoNo. I meant literally, leaving all the semantincs intact.
