OCaml's community has been pretty elitistic up until just some few short years ago. Stuff like "build your project", "build docs", "generate parts of your project" have been a dark territory there for a long time where people invent their own stuff and just look down on many others who want an experience similar to Elixir's `mix` or Rust's `cargo`.

This is changing, happily, but OCaml I always viewed as kind of an elitistic intellectuals club. Happy to be proven more and more wrong lately, though!

I am looking forward, eagerly, to OCaml 5.0 and having an amazingly fast compiler with solid multicore runtime system support! It's very likely I might abandon Rust for OCaml when that time comes (8 - 12 months).
