> I couldn't find a single datetime library that has a concept of instances that could be interpreted in different time zones. Jane Street's Core has a good timezone support (the thing you need is pair Date.t * Time_ns.Ofday.t). sqlite3-ocaml [1] seems reasonably documented. [1] https://github.com/mmottl/sqlite3-ocaml

Being 'single-core only' is not that much of a problem if you're coming from Python and immediately seeing a huge performance boost compiling to Go-style static native binaries, I think? People immediately jump on the 'single-core' thing with OCaml, but can you explain what exactly it is that you're trying to do with multicore that's not covered by a concurrency library like Lwt or a multi-processing library like Async Parallel? Re: database drivers–which one are you looking for? MSSQL ( https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/ann-first-release-of-mssql/3242 )? Or Postgres ( http://mmottl.github.io/postgresql-ocaml/ )? Or SQLite ( https://github.com/mmottl/sqlite3-ocaml )? Re: web frameworks–Eliom ( https://ocsigen.org/eliom/6.6/manual/intro ) is one of the most powerful isomorphic web frameworks.

Or you want a Kafka client ( https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/kafka/ )? Or maybe you can just take advantage of BuckleScript's high-fidelity approach to transpiling OCaml to JavaScript, and write some bindings to take advantage of basically everything in the npm ecosystem? Sure, not every OCaml library is battle-tested, but I think that's not a good reason to immediately discount it. I didn't tell StavrosK to immediately commit to and rewrite everything in OCaml, I said he might find it interesting. Even with Go, Rust, and TypeScript as options, because: - Not everyone is satisfied with Go's type system or its model of error handling, or its low ceiling for abstraction. - Not everyone is satisfied with Rust's overall newness and potential compiler and library bugs, its lack of GC and the subsequent having to deal with borrow checking, or its slow compile times. - Not everyone is satisfied with trying to model the dynamic complexity of JavaScript in a new, explicitly unsound type system. And it's no secret that the BuckleScript compiler can run rings around tsc for compile speed (not even mentioning the more powerful and battle-tested OCaml language).
