Oh. I haven't followed lately. Thanks a lot for the updated info!

Really looking forward to what the community will build with OCaml 5.00! IMO it will shoot the language straight into the mainstream and I can't wait. OCaml is applicable for like 90% what's out there, including as a Python replacement. And its syntax is often much terser than Rust (although the higher-level typing constructs can be confusing to read).

After that, all that's left is a tool like Elixir's mix or Rust's cargo and the language is basically not only in the 21st century but much farther than many others! Looking forward to it.

Yes, but note the absence of syntactic support. Effects will be usable for writing libraries and experimentation, but routine use won't be very ergonomic until a later release.
