Hacker News • HackerNews • Use case: Part of the core system stack for building insurance risk intelligence systems.
in 2025 ocaml is hurting JS more than it helps them... 90%+ of their software hires aren't joining because of ocaml, but in spite of it. The well of existing ocaml (or more generally, functional programming) enthusiasts who are qualified and willing to work for JS has been depleted for some time now.

I played with OCaml 10+ years ago, and couldn't make head or tails of it. I tried again recently, and it just felt familiar and quite obvious.

informed by... OCaml (which I wish I was writing instead of Python).
