Oh. Ocaml again. Well, I'll chirp on the opposite side of discusion. The syntax is completely <->:%^&#$^ $% %^&*% up. Unreadable. Yes, it maybe somewhat pleasant to write code in such syntax, but readability sucks. Just like perl. Also ugly as perl as well. When do you people learn the lessons from C, Python and Haskell? That _readability_ is _the most important thing_ for any language. Now about design. Ocaml allows a mix of imperative+functional+oop! Which means that there are uncountably many ways to screw up the design, and only a few to get it right. And each OCaml primadonna developer thinks that his way is the right way. And the rest can't read his code. Fuck that.
To CEO of Esper. Interesting. How many decades of experience do you have? How many projects you've successfully shipped? How many of these there using this approach of using non-mainstream languages?
