I also suspect that people are more open to a language like OCaml. With Rust and javascript being so popular, a lot of constructs in OCaml will not seem so foreign.

OCaml is in many ways a sane Typescript or a functional version of Go.

Ditto, it feels like more people are coming around to the ML style type systems. I'm hoping Gleam will fill the void with a scalable BEAM backend and compiling to JS with Lustre on the frontend (or even just serverside with htmx).

Before OCaml multi core it was a non starter for many applications. Now, OCaml can be used for almost anything!

I really rooting for the Riot framework. It's based on the actor model and makes using multi core in OCaml a breeze.

Some popular streamers have dabbled in OCaml this year, sometimes calling it "the Go of functional programming", which probably set off a small wave of people tinkering with the language. OCaml has also gotten gradually better in recent years in terms of tooling, documentation, standard library, etc.

I think they were saying that Gleam was Go of functional programming? OCaml may be like Go compared to Haskell but IMHO Gleam really embraces simplicity and pragmatism.

I know it's been said by many, but I will repeat once again.

Elixir is a very cool and powerful language for building web apps.

Having built my first product (https://retrochat.xyz) in Elixir, I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who is not happy with their current backend language(Ruby, Python, Js, etc).

Docs, functional programming, OTP, ecosystem(Phoenix, Ecto, Mix) are really top notch. In my opinion, you will be able to reach much higher productivity (especially long term) in Elixir than in Ruby, which is known for it's high level of productivity. Sounds like a fairy tale, right? Well, that fairy tale can become a reality with Elixir.

The only thing that is a bit of pain is a good release support, but that has been changing for better.

The one thing that could really push it into "dream language" territory is a sound type system. The Gleam language recently popped up as an up and coming solution to that... It's ReasonML/Javascript like syntax makes it familiar and has a good interop story.

Thanks for the article! I find it really surprising how difficult it is to deploy Elixir apps when it's so much more popular now and the Elixir team is so great at the developer experience.
