Additional interesting fact, unison is written in ocaml. Very cool to see interesting systemsy software written in a functional programming language. I'm very excited to peruse it later.
Unison also hasn't been updated at all since the original authors stopped working on it, as far as I can tell. It's only one data point, but it does suggest a downside of using ocaml for open source software...

Projects not receiving much love after the original authors give it up isn't unique to projects written in ocaml.
But the probability of discontinuing a project is higher when the language is a less popular one.
