OCaml at Bloomberg

Please do not argue like that. I understand you are a fan of the language, I love the OCaml language myself. But pretending execution speed does not matter is disserving the cause, especially since many people came to OCaml because it's a great trade off between execution speed, expressivity and safety.

Please re-read my comment :-) Nowhere did I say:

> execution speed does not matter

What I actually said: what is the actual performance requirement?

I don’t get why this is such a hard concept for people in this thread :-) Obviously you should use the right tool for the job! If you have extreme HPC requirements, no one (except maybe Jane Street) is going to use OCaml for that. It’s a high-level GC language! When you come into a thread, have some basic context about what it’s about.
