Aah, fair point, it is pretty niche. Still, merely going off of their comparative contribution graphs [1] [2] and issue trackers [3] [4], it seems like Frege has a fair bit more throughput: for better or for worse, it seems like more _things_ are happening. Although I'll be the first to admit it's a misleading metric for determining the maturity of a project, it's still something. Imagine finding a bug in Frege: it seems like they merge even small patches from contributors, whereas ocamljava is essentially a one man show. Adopting ocamljava would probably mean forking and maintaining it too, whereas there's a possibility of just contributing to Frege. That's all just my opinion, of course, and I hardly have enough industry experience to back up its validity! 'Just sanity checking my reasoning :) [1]: https://github.com/Frege/frege/graphs/

I also think it is interesting, once I put 2+2 together, you pointed out the OCaml Java runtime from Xavier is not open source ... yet. It will be, but it is binary only at this point.[1] I want to make a joke about the F/L/OSS spirit of this guy, but the whole QPL thing has been repeated a la Shen in circles where I read and seems to have left a sour taste in the mouth of some, like this guy.[2] Still, I am in place to judge OCaml devs or the community around them, as they seem increasingly awesome. I am a novice, but a CS undergrad in my hood specifically said check out OCaml when we discussed functional langs because of the Jane Street videos. And before that, my only expsoure to what OCaml was, let alone is or even coding it, was the eMule software package. Anyway, good to see you on the field. If you are paying attention to this,
