I had a similar thought to this, but then I thought, who is worse: programmers who keep bloating up existing languages with new features, or programmers who create yet another new language to add to the already crowded field? (I'm in that latter category.)

I guess programmers are just genetically incapable of leaving their tools the way they are.

This did actually halt my hobby programming language project, whose features overlap a lot and is advancing slowly anyway.

At the very least I'll give OxCaml a try to compare. Best case I drop mine and use this, worst case I learn what works and what doesn't.

Can I interest you in F#?
