What are the biggest reasons newcomers give up on OCaml?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/ocaml

Our great sponsors

  • ocaml

    The core OCaml system: compilers, runtime system, base libraries

    Allow me to bestow upon the OCaml community my fantastic new library that provides an "industrial-strength" implementation of positive integers in a language that is wonderful because it is so strongly statically typed:

  • sequoia

    OCaml type-safe query builder with syntax tree extension (by andrenth)

    The other thing thats lacking is a database library thats just a tad bit more abstarct than the driver. Im not looking for an orm, but a query builder that would be type safe. I found https://github.com/andrenth/sequoia but the interface could be polished (not digging the insane local opens) and sadly, it looks abandoned.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • ASP.NET Core

    ASP.NET Core is a cross-platform .NET framework for building modern cloud-based web applications on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

    it's close enough imo. we're using barebones as asp.net with f# and the inclusion of C# OOP really isn't that bad.
