Since you mentioned Scala ... you realize Scala has had those properties for years, don't you?

Yes, true. I'm probably overstating things. Just excited about the prospect of having these things in Ocaml. Scala is an impressive language but it's a big language. I prefer the relative simplicity of Ocaml and (even more) SML.

Also, performance-wise, with multicore and the new optimizations with flambda, Ocaml will be particularly interesting.
