Which is no small feat. I wish OCaml cleaned house and settled on just one stdlib and removed a lot of legacy baggage, and oh yeah, add built-in Unicode support, and 5-6 other things I am forgetting now.

Sure you can muscle through all that but having Rust around really makes you wonder if it's worth it and in my case I ultimately arrived at "nope, it is not" so I just use Elixir, Golang and Rust.
