I'm not saying it's a replacement for either F# or OCaml, and I've only glanced at it, but F*[1] looks pretty neat. It's higher-level than F# (a lot) and has a syntax more similar to Haskell's. You can even extract programs in F# and OCaml.

My experience with F* is several unsuccessful hours of trying to compile hello world thanks to a complete lack of instructions for configuration and installation.

I hope it's gotten better.

F* or F#? They are very different.
