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. :-)

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

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/co..., and I've had similar experiences with Haskell too.

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

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"?

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