I was astounded by the performance of Ocaml.
Being forced by an insane lecturer to debug an obfuscated Ocaml
program when I was a student rather put me off the language.
(And _boy_ can you write obfuscated Ocaml programs if you try!
User-definable infix operators are an especially nice touch in
that regard)
Why isn't Ocaml more popular? Is there a good reason?
