It is, hands down, my best experience working in a functional language. I do hobby work in it, and it seems super nice, but I'm not sure where everyone is.

Looking at a chart of GitHub and StackOverflow usage[1], OCaml/F# seem almost steady compared to the other functional languages, my suspicion is that Rust absorbed a lot of programmers looking for functional concepts in programming languages.

yeah I’d say usage has been steady, maybe with a slight uptick in interest it feels like.

It’s a great platform, in some ways it’s like a secret weapon…

I joke that F# is kinda “easy-button Rust” lol
