I don't think that's the situation, but if you are irreversibly committed to a technology, you have an interest in seeing that tech continue to advance. Being stuck on a dead tech is even worse.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. What is the situation?

Why do you think OCaml is a "dead tech"? Can you justify that? Or is it just based on the notion that if most people don't use it, it must be a bad tool?

I dont think he's saying it's dead tech. He's saying their incentive to invest into ocaml is to make sure it doesn't become dead tech.
