> * The tooling is lacking.

Care to elaborate on this point? Maybe it's just because I'm coming from Haskell (lol), but my experience with OCaml's tooling has been pretty darn good.

While I don't think there's a heavyweight IDE for OCaml à la IntelliJ, in Emacs I get my error messages inline, on-the-fly checking (including type inference and checking, which is huge), and pretty good completion. All of this seems to "just work".

The build system also seems to "just work" and utop is pretty nice.

Now try setting up OCaml tooling on Windows. That alone would be responsible for a lot of missing users.
