FWIW, I'd say that the differences between OCaml and Haskell are of academic
interest (first-class modules vs type classes). The important thing is the
shortcomings that both OCaml and Haskell share (high barrier to entry, poor
interop, performance limitations, limited libraries, commerce unfriendly,
ageing foundations).
Cheers,
Jon.

Subject: [Caml-list] Re: Haskell vs OCaml
Geez, I don't want to fan the flames of any sort of war, but .... as long as
this subject came up, I'd really like to find out if anybody has done
decent-sized-system comparisons of ocaml and haskell for performance and
footprint.
I'm a long-time Caml (and before that SML) hacker, and (hopefully) fully
appreciate the FP Nature, so it's not like I'm looking for an argument about
which language is better, etc, etc.
And I'm not looking for microbenchmarks, either. I'm looking for
-significant- systems that have been implemented in both, and information
about footprint and performance of those systems.
Why am I looking? Because if you're a bigot about your favorite language,
and -never- look for countervailing facts about the competition, you might
miss out.
Heck, that's how I became an Ocaml bigot lo' these many years.
So .... anybody got anything?
