It took only one sentence to show that you never used OCaml or Haskell, so I'm not sure how serious the rest of your claims should be taken.

[mercurial]

OCaml compiles pretty fast, especially if you target bytecode. Haskell on the other hand... is still faster than Scala, but not "lightning fast".

Yes, but OCaml doesn't "offer very similar functionalities".

Haskell is quite a bit slower if you consider that you often have to compile not only your own code, but also the sources of your dependencies in the beginning. Additionally, you have to fight with Cabal, which tends to be very unpleasant due to the lack of any reasonable support for exotic things like "versions". Then you might discover hacks like "sandboxing". Hours not spent coding.
