Why OCaml?
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.

My adventures in ML Land
There is a lot to be desired about OCaml tooling, but I am really excited about opam-tools and duniverse.

Statically typed language where I can print anything easily?
You can also (and should!) familiarize yourself with utop. From utop, you can see the types of just about anything.
- utop: Universal toplevel for OCaml
- Best REPL for a language

#quit;; to quit is unintuitive, so it should be suggested if a user types quit
You should probably file a ticket on the utop repo rather than mentioning it here: https://github.com/ocaml-community/utop

My adventures in ML Land
To write OCaml code, I sat up Neovim by following this guide. For my repl needs, I used Utop. Whenever I needed to insert multiple lines, I used Utop's $editor integration which could be opened by C-x C-e.
