Does ocaml have a mature ecosystem of libraries and dependencies? And easy way to manage them? Even rust with all its hype lacks in this area imo.

- lmm 1y agoNo, and that's part of why I use Scala instead. But this person is looking to make a binary to do a small thing on their desktop and does not list dependency management among their criteria.

- myaccountonhn 1y agoDepends on what you're doing and how you structure your program. It certainly does not match the ecosystem of Go, Rust or C++
- sealeck 1y agoIt doesn't have a great ecosystem of libraries, but it _does_ have a good way to manage them: https://dune.build/ https://dune.build/, which as I understand it was developed at Jane Street (lots of code and dependencies) and is now open source. > Even rust with all its hype lacks in this area imo. This is surprising to me! I find that Rust has pretty excellent tooling, and Cargo is substantially better than the package manager in most other languages...
- tayo42 1y agoI didn't write that clearly. I meant the ecosystem still isn't mature. Agree with you rust tooling is major positive for the language
