OCaml seems to be on an upswing in popularity/hype recently. As someone who's threading the waters in Clojure but not a fan of the JVM developer experience I'm curious why OCaml is a great choice.
I would love to hear some stories from people using it in production. I'm leaning towards wanting to use a LISP as it's just so elegant... but I feel that getting boggled down in "hard core" functional programming is a bit daunting and limiting.
I'm in the same mindset right now. Really like aspects of Clojurescript and its elegant syntax, but it's complicated machinery (JVM, Google Closure) make me wary. I'm sure they're well done, but because I'm mainly interested in the JS target, I'm open to something like Bucklescript, along with Elm, Purescript.
