There's no mention of a library called zero, or even JavaScript.


Im assuming the JS refers to Janes street


That makes sense, I guess I've got web tunnel vision.


I was bit by the same spider that gave you web tunnel vision. In any case, I find OCaml too esoteric for my taste. F# is softer and feels more..modern perhaps? But I don’t think GC can be avoided in dotnet.


You can avoid GC in hot loops in F# with value-types, explicit inlining, and mutability.

Mutability may not result in very idiomatic code however, although it can often be wrapped with a functional API (e.g. parser combinators).
