If that bothers you, you shouldn't be learning ocaml. Look at the latest stack overflow developer surveys. A vast majority of developers and real applications never touch ocaml.

- zulban 1y agoIf we're talking about "real applications" it absolutely matters. Almost nobody is writing "real applications" with ocaml, overwhelmingly so. That at least suggests there's great reasons why not. Anyone asking about the practicality of the language needs to know that basic fact.
