> If you want to code in Pascal, you know where it is. Pascal was designed for fast, one-pass compilation, and its compilers don't have to do nearly as much work as Haskell compilers or even C compilers.

OCaml is at a good spot between Pascal and Haskell for that. Compared to Haskell, I find the tooling easier to understand but maybe not easier to use at first.
