How does Ocaml compare with F#? Now that .net is open source and supports multi platforms, is it fair to compare these 2 languages?

- mercurial 11y agoOCaml has no corporate support and a limited standard library. It does not benefit from the larger MS ecosystem. It does not have multicore support (not until the end of the year if all goes well). On the other hand, it is really fast, it has some great features (functors, mostly) not found in F#, a really good package management story, and some great libraries (eg, lwt). It can also boast of having one of the most developed unikernels out there (mirage) and can generate sane Javascript via js_of_ocaml. That said, it's definitely an even harder sell than F# in the corporate space.
