Why I had been wanting to learn #OCaml, an incomplete list. I wanted to learn something:

• Fairly "mathy."
• Functional.
• At least 10 years old.
• With fairly significant production use, at least somewhere, for server environments with reasonable out-of-box performance.
• That I did not already know.
• That's actively maintained.
• Easy to use on gitpod w/ good vscode integration.
• Reasonable package library.
• That did not make me miserable every time I wanted to do IO.
• Fairly niche.
