| Subject: | [Caml-list] OCaml popularity |
Greetings, I discovered OCaml on Doug Bagley's computer shootout page where he gives it a rave review over all the other languages he evaluated. After looking into it further, I'm just surprised that OCaml isn't more popular. It seems to have all the rapid development features of a scripting language like Python, but unlike scripting languages offers fast native code like a compiled language. Seemingly the best of both worlds. Any ideas why OCaml isn't more well known? Is it just because the language is not as old as something like Python, or perhaps because the syntax is more difficult to learn? ===== Regards, Graham http://mobile.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
