I heard some random researcher from Microsoft asked about that on the OCaml mailing list in 2001 [1]. I think it led nowhere [2]. [1] http://caml.inria.fr/pub/ml-archives/caml-list/2001/02/57705...

Don't do passive aggressive comment. It's both obnoxious and against the site guideline. State what you have to state. I just thought your comment was top-level. It's unobvious on mobile.

No, they are moving from OCaml because it "has been a little unsatisfactory". If you read their blog post, you will see it's mostly self-inflicted pain: they suddenly discovered vendors don't ship SDK for niche languages

SML is a nice language with a cleaner syntax and is standardized. Still, my answer would be OCaml without questions. It has better tooling, better performance, a larger community, a larger ecosystem, more features and more work being done o

Honest question: why use a unikernel on bare metal? I can see the lure on top of an hypervisor. You already have an actual kernel running which you can use it to administer the machine. Why pay the performance price of a full kernel in your
