Eh, but you cannot deny these are cosmetical / taste preferences and not technical disadvantages of the languages.

IMO OCaml is a less sciency Haskell, and more focused on getting stuff done -- but I am still evaluating it and it definitely has warts in the tooling. Time will tell.

Rust... I looked at it but it struck me as a modern C++... too many ways to do one thing.

We need opinionated tech. Programming is not an art class practice session.




Its all about:

Syntax Libraries Runtime

I picked syntax briefly, because i think its the most important part of the language.

The libraries can be written, the runtime improved but if the syntax is bad its hard to change it later.
