Jane Street's sneaky retention tactic – an obscure, French programming language

Calling OCaml "an obscure, French programming language" is like calling Linux "an obscure, Finnish operating system".

charlysl•7mo ago

In stackoverflow's survey [1] it ranks below the 40th position in popularity, near the bottom and below the likes of Prolog, Apex, MicroPython, and just above Cobol.

If that isn't obscure, nevermind building all your tech around it like the article says, then I guess that nothing is.

Where does Linux rank in OSs?
