OCaml is mostly = used by academia and some industry players, and marketing is not being emph= asized. You need to have something to market. One of the things the Rust community = markets is their familiar C-like syntax. Also, I think it=E2=80=99s a stret= ch to say that Mozilla has a Rust-dedicated marketing budget.

Like I said, syntax is one of the things the Reason team is marketing heavi= ly and it=E2=80=99s a big selling point. They=E2=80=99re not magically gene= rating buzz just because they=E2=80=99re throwing a lot of blog posts out t= here and seeing what sticks. I agree with you that syntax is not the only factor in a language=E2=80=99s= popularity. But it is a significant factor. The fact that people here are = discussing syntax proves that. Regards, Yawar
