Nitpick you wonder why yaml is preferred to ini files when it is lined up to each other.

Ocaml not unbearably slow when say running 10 simple tests. Ocaml is actually amazingly fast and a pleasure to work with.
Sbt is actually worse than dune+opam .
Ocaml has type inference globally so you are not required to spray type annotations at everything.
But Scala does have type directed lookup (type classes/ implicits).
Both have the curse of implementation/typing choices that stops you from doing the actual job ;)

I dont think expirements are a way to qualify decades of research that went before.
Second what Sun choose to implement was a smaller subset and not that close to Featherweight Java/pizza compiler. It was only generics, not first class functions at the time, nor algebraic types/pattern matching.
