OCamel - The Future of Programming Languages

Laurent: I'm pretty excited about having OCamel be a system where by default you have a garbage collector, but that you can in a focused way have it checked and enforced at the level of the type system. And my hope is that that will end up being a system which gives you a lot of the things that are most attractive about Rust,. But is all in more ergonomic because you don't have to do the extra work of thinking about explicit tracking of the memory except in the cases where you really need to do it. Yeah, and if I remember correctly, Rust actually started the other way around. The earliest versions of Rust I think did have a garbage collection in there
