Very interesting that I followed a very similar reasoning and settled on F#. Tells me that our process must have been very similar.

- eggy 2mo agoWhy did you choose F# over OCaml? I am in the same boat and evaluating both. Mainly systems programming, applications, etc.
- 59nadir 2mo agoBoth of these are near useless for systems programming and predictable behavior when caring about performance.
- Lyngbakr 2mo agoJane Street uses OCaml in a domain where performance matters.* *https://signalsandthreads.com/performance-engineering-on-hard-mode/ https://signalsandthreads.com/performance-engineering-on-har...
- bbkane 2mo agoJane Street has unlimited engineers and money to do this. At least from the sidelines, it looks like they've built/forked most parts of the OCaml ecosystem to make it work (OxCaml, Dune was built by then, custom profilers, custom networking hardware, etc). Of course a lot of their work is open source and can be used, but I wouldn't assume that it would be worth the effort to do something similar with OCaml yourself. Maybe it is! LLMs go brrr and all that.
