11:35 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> In your opinion, is OCaml ready to be used for a commerical web product? Say an online shop or something of the sort

11:38 <discocaml> <27theo> the language is of course 'ready'

11:38 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> When I say OCaml, I mean the language but also the ecosystem around it more of

11:38 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> Dream seems pretty promising for example

11:39 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> But yeah I was just looking at that page, I'll probably risk it and try using OCaml for most things

11:40 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> Only fear would be hitting a wall at some point and having to implement things that are available in other ecosystems

11:41 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> For example, OCaml seems to have no stable Stripe library, so I'm wondering how many other things we'd take for granted in bigger ecosystems might be missing here

11:41 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> Of course, in no way a fault of the language, but still important to consider imo

11:45 <discocaml> <gooby_clown> Or actually, a good thing would be maybe to prototype in another language, and when you have a MVP you can see what's missing in OCaml and potentially implement it, say Stripe (although it does put the burden of maintenance on you)

13:28 <discocaml> <lukstafi> How do you deal with being Bigarray OCaml 5.2 compatible? Matching `Float16`, but only if it's present in the type.

13:32 <discocaml> <lukstafi> I'm matching `_ (* Float16 *)` for now.

13:51 <discocaml> <regularspatula> I will be interested to hear your experiences with this
