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, they wrote single threaded code because they couldn't figure out how Lwt - probably the most popular OCaml library - works and apparently couldn't be bothered to ask and failed to understand how the debugger works (like GDB and with documentation shipped with the compiler).

I mean, F# is a very reasonable choice if you want the .Net ecosystem and will most definitely solve the SDK issue but the whole thing certainly didn't convince me to try Dark.

Let's be fair: They're moving away from OCaml because there's a ton of stuff that's impractical about using OCaml, mostly related to the very bare ecosystem tooling that's seen maybe a few years of good light and "Things every language should have by now" features that have been coming soon for 8+ years.

Is the person I'm responding to a member of the Dark development team? I was unaware!

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.
