Its type system is awesome not only at catching bugs at compile-time, but also at guiding you in your design.  There are a couple of nice-to-have that would be cool though: Haskell-like type classes come to mind, and some minor syntax warts could be improved.  Its implementation is also extremely solid: I always expect the code generated by OCaml to perform well.  With tools like OPAM, getting the latest compiler and libraries is very easy.  Definitely one of my favorite language toolset.</text></comment>
