I wonder if the author would feel the same way about OCaml if he had come across it before Scala.

I suspect not somehow.

I came to scala because it is in fact an acceptable ocaml that runs on the JVM.

Kind of my point. I think he's meh on Ocaml because Scala has the same features & runs on the JVM, seeing it after using Scala wouldn't be very exciting. However Ocaml was around years before Scala.
