Indeed. I heard someone comment that every FP conference will be doing a 'victory lap' due to Apple's announcement. At the very least, I hope people/devs will explore ML based languages for their next project.

It would be interesting to get your take on the toolstack we're building using OCaml - http://nymote.org (I'm aware the copy on the site needs works but it's the tools I'm referring to).

Yup, that's what I heard (obviously 3rd hand). Second like is very useful as I've not had a chance to look at the swift docs yet.

Each of the components of nymote are interesting in their own right. I'm very interested to see how they can all be brought together to accomplish your goals which are ambitious and noble. How can I keep up to date on your progress?
