Facebook just released a static type checker for javascript last week that happens to be written in OCaml. This release announcement was pretty well received here on HN[1]. After reading the commentary here and looking at Flow I've found myself reading more about OCaml. It wouldn't surprise me that others did the same and decided to share interesting articles they found.
I imagine the bubbles of popularity you mention are regularly kicked off by a similar event. When an article or piece of new software gets popular it follows that related material would also see a surge in activity.
From my experimentation the package worked quite well for the most part but I ended up not using it in the end.

git config --global help.autocorrect 10I think the only thing that I might have done differently would have been to allow myself to use Perl since it is a dependency of git anyway.
