I'm a little disappointed that there's so little analysis on the free form questions. I can't remember what I answered, so I was looking through some of these free form questions to try and identify my comments. I kept thinking something had to be me because it's word for word the same thoughts that have gone through my head 100s of times as a long-time OCaml user. Unfortunately, it feels like these are getting ignored because there's so little commentary on them (though I doubt that's actually the case). |

I think the language is potentially becoming interesting as a statically typed data analysis platform. I don't see any good competitor in the area. I would love to be able to perform longer analyses in a statically typed platform, and transition to a production system without having to change languages. I think lots of people have similar needs.
The OWL libraries are surprisingly good despite having very little developer mass behind them. Of course the whole ecosystem is tiny in comparison with Julia, let alone Python. I wonder if large users like Jane Street have their own private Ocaml implementations of the equivalents to NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, Pandas, Keras.
