Year of OCaml?

We have recently gotten or will be soon getting, in no particular order:

# multicore (no more GIL)
# flambda
# GC tuning for real time systems
# algebraic effects
# modular implicits

Are we kicking ass yet?

Build an ecosystem and they will come. You won't get many OCaml users though.

OCaml's OO is really just a marketing symbol. It's there, it's good as far as these things go. But nobody uses it. SML could be living in this paradise, but like in old times The Jealous God wouldn't tolerate anything He thought was Imperfect. Meanwhile in OCaml we have an Idol of Satan in our courtyard which everyone agrees not to worship... and we have enough people around for that to mean something.
