Hey Jake, nice article. You just pushed OCaml to the top of my "programming languages to learn" list.

Why, the state space is not *that* big, it's just a 1 x 1 x ... x 1 order-(2^32)-hypercube. It has unit volume as well!
Of course I agree with you on the rest. But perhaps keeping the space analogy that should be "Hubble programmers"?

Nice to read a sane summary of those languages. It's the conclusion I've been coming to myself.

I'm curious to see a comparison of OCaml versus Oberon? Oberon also imposes very, very strong interface boundaries and I've enjoyed this language immensely. Currently, I hack in Haskell (see http://www.falvotech.com/content/cut/3), and I've had similar experiences with Haskell too.

i mock your current so-called higher-order languages with my dependently typed one(s)!

Excellent post. We are ourselves building a finance app in Scala (which is an excellent language with great FP support), but I have to say that I somehow envy you hacking away in OCaml. :-)
