Out of curiosity, what problems does Haskell's compiler(s) (I think it's really just GHC these days?) face that OCaml's doesn't?

speed. Ocaml compiler is probably as fast as Go one

GHC has many backends and there is GHCi as well.

No need to always go through the slowest path.

The regular backend is the fastest according to their docs: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_gu.... Having an interactive toplevel isn't a substitute for fast compilation (and OCaml has both).
