Why OCaml?

  16 843 8.7 F#

  VS Code plugin for F# development

  

The DarkLang project was originally written in OCaml and was recently ported to F# (https://blog.darklang.com/new-backend-fsharp/)

> How much work would it take in term of code rewriting?

There are definitely code changes required, but I think those are quite manageable as concepts mostly map 1:1 from OCaml to F#.

> can it compile to native code?

Yup, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/nati...

> how good is the language support experience in vscode?

Pretty good, https://ionide.io

(but I personally prefer JetBrains Rider)

> any reason not to do it?

Compilation speed, some OCaml language features?

  Assemble dune workspaces to build your project and its dependencies as a whole

  

Re: dependency management and build tooling: these days I'm using opam-monorepo (https://github.com/tarides/opam-monorepo, previously known as duniverse) to manage dependencies and it's working out pretty well for me. It vendors all dependencies into a node_modules-like directory inside the projects and writes an opam-compatible lockfile, and it builds all the dependencies using dune. For the most widely used packages that don't already use dune it uses an overlay containing dune ports at https://github.com/dune-universe/opam-overlays.
