If you read my tweets enough and you haven't tried OCaml yet, it's just a matter of time. I'm creating (still WIP) an unorganised guide on how to learn it in 2023: sancho.dev/blog/learning-oca…

I have almost 1000 followers here, which sounds surreal. Many great people I never met are fine reading my thoughts... such a small number but being a big number at the same time. Thanks ~

Looking forward to that, I only hear the goodies of Nix!

Dave, some of the code samples seem to be in Reason syntax. Is that intentional?

Nope, fixing those. Thanks

Could you tell the pros and cons of ocaml vs rust and Rescript?

ReScript is focused to compile to JS only, to compare with system languages you would need to use node/demo. This way, as a language: ReScript vs OCaml/Rust is an easy comparison. Safety, performance, memory management.

We had a lot of business critical code in OCaml, but the main problem is that the cloud ecosystem is almost non-existent, so most of the time we still have a Go application with IPC or RPC :/

I have read similar feedback from .@paulbiggar, using IPC seems very unfortunate. What are the missing pieces? Sometimes is a matter of jumping on!

Could you tell the pro and cons Haskell vs OCaml 2023?

I'm not in a position to compare Haskell, haven't had production experience with it. Most tradeoffs are the same as any year except Multicore on OCaml might give a plus

Based on system settings

The docs are horrible, tried to also use rescript, was unable to figure out how to create a Map data structure
