(And at least some schools are emphasizing having students ready for internship&amp;#x2F;interview with popular languages now, so innovative languages can get even less attention.)</text><parent_chain><item><author>threwawasy1228</author><text>It doesn&amp;#x27;t get said very much but the ML ecosystem is full, complete, and very much production quality.

I need to set aside some time to really dive deep into Ocaml and make a simple micro framework or something.&lt;p&gt;From my small amount of exposure, I can say that I love Ocaml&amp;#x27;s expressiveness and flexibility.</text><parent_chain><item><author>threwawasy1228</author><text>It doesn&amp;#x27;t get said very much but the ML ecosystem is full, complete, and very much production quality.
