Thank you, everyone, for the responses and discussion. If there is interest= , I would still love to hear more thoughts about whether there is a roadmap= (either de facto from the community, or explicit from leaders of the commu= nity) to foster broader adoption. I see that many organizations are making immense contributions to the commu= nity: from language and ecosystem enhancements, to Real World OCaml, to the= OCaml Users and Developers Workshop. Technical progress is rapid. But so f= ar, to me, these wonderful contributions feel more like giving back to the = community for us to make what we can of them, rather than anyone=E2=80=99s = systematic effort to streamline broader uptake of OCaml. These are the impressions of a newcomer. If there is interest, I would love= to hear more seasoned viewpoints. Dean
