OCaml should definitely move toward adopting either Batteries or Jane Street Core as its standard library; they offer a lot more functionality.

For package management, I haven't had the chance to really try it yet, but I'm hearing good things about OPAM.

Finally, Rust just looks awesome, I'm hoping that the language stabilizes before the end of the year, as I'd love to do my master thesis with it.

As great as OPAM might be (neither have I tried it), it has one fundamental downside compared to Go: it is a package manager for OCaml.

Package management is one of those things that are better off when there is just one.

I'm pretty sure OPAM will become the de facto standard of the OCaml world; most people don't want to deal with the other ones.
