The substance of the statements I quoted was wrong. As I wrote elsewhere, I do agree with the broad statement that the combination of functional and imperative features in OCaml works just fine. But if the semantic information you give to the OCaml compiler is "linked list", it will use a linked list rather than a data structure that might be better for the task at hand.
