The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Jane Street is big. Like, big
I'm very much not a serious OCaml:er but when I've dabbled some in it I got the impression that their "standard library" is kind of the de facto standard library.

My Thoughts on OCaml
I don’t know OCaml, or really any language that would help me fully understand the code, but my exposure to OCaml is this stuff, and it looks pretty clean to me. https://github.com/janestreet/base
Of course, I haven’t read every file, so maybe I got lucky with my random sampling.

My adventures in ML Land
Real World OCaml uses Base to replace OCaml's stdlib. I am not very fond of Base since it deviates from the standard convention of passing functions before values in HOC. To fix the ordering, one has to use labels:

I'm typecasting a lot, help
As far as standard library usage goes, I highly recommend using Base. Instead of implementing list_of_string, you could use Base.String.to_list. Even if you don't end up using Base, you can get the same thing from the built in standard library by doing String.to_seq then List.of_seq.

My Thoughts on OCaml
The C# compiler got a ton of new smarts around reference type nullability and almost all of the BCL (.NET standard library) got annotated for it. I don't know when F# will finally pick up all the new compile-time smarts for Nullable Reference Types, but it has been proposed and prototyped, at least [1].

Drawbacks of adding 'Interfaces with static abstract members' in F#
Note: For some reason I cant submit the Url with the specific section of the Drawbacks section, but it is here https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-design/blob/main/FSharp-7.0...

Is there a market for a complete fsharp ORM library?
Does type provider still only support literal strings for definition, right? Supporting records could make it feasible to create something really good as just a side project. I remember suggestions to allow taking record/types but can't find the gh issue or related. Found the rfc. Seems abandoned. It could be a game changer. :(

How do I use voptions in active patterns in F# 6?
But, when I try this example from the RFC, I get an "expected option but here has type voption" error.

F# Weekly #42, 2021 – .NET 6 RC2 and What’s new in F# 6.0
Add insert/remove/update functions for collections, also Keys/Values for Map
- RFC FS-1110,1111 - "index syntax (expr[idx] instead of expr.[idx]) and ref cell op deprecation (.Value instead of !)" has been merged into the F# compiler and will be available starting the next .NET 6 release candidate.

Is there a way to connect RFCs <-> PRs <-> targeted F# releases <-> release dates?
Someone writes an RFC about the approved-in-principle suggestion with more details and opens a pull request to https://github.com/fsharp/fslang-design.
