I'm a C elitist who would like to branch out and become an FP elitist as well.

Do any of you use OCaml?

Not personally, because it's shit for system programming, which is my thing, but I was taught a class or two in it. FFTW is written with it, so it can't be completely unusable for serious projects. I remember thinking the module system was kind of stupid, though, but I can't remember why.

implying FFTW is a serious project

A nice language with a restrained implementation. Unfortunately this story is too common with these languages.

why OCaml? why not SML?

Cool. The only application I can name is coq.

I've heard it's embarrassingly parallel^Wsequential.

I know they're both ML derivatives, but how have they diverged?

One factor for me is that OCaml has a Plan 9 port.

Who are you quoting?

Why not rust? It supports functional programming.

and he doesn't even bother to comment on why he quoted that.

This is not fucking usenet. The discussion as a whole is available to you through >>-1001, and if you believe I have misattributed the quotation, sue me.

I will answer as to why FFTW is not a serious project. It's a bunch of math algorithms disguised as C functions when they really are assembly hacks. Someone mentioned coq; now that's a serious project.
