Fully agree.

I hear good things about OCaml? Anyone tried that?

I asked chatgpt for a few languages with a good typesystem and it suggested ocaml among other (scala, rust, haskell, f#)

Then asked for a 100 line ocaml REST API example with a popular framework and db lib.. and it looks mostly like Haskell.

edit: async is done with monads

If it looks mostly like Haskell but has better tooling, I'm in. I have yet to manage to successfully set up a Haskell environment on my own PC. 😅 I am obviously missing something.
