That's about the time-frame where I got into OCaml so I followed this up close.
The biggest hindrance in my opinion is/was boxed types.
Too much overhead for low level stuff, although there was a guy from oxbridge doing GL stuff with it.
- debugnik 1y agoThat's still the biggest hindrance in my opinion, at least for my use cases. OxCaml, Jane Street's fork, has some features for unboxed types and stack-based allocation of boxed types; hopefully it goes upstream.
