[ANN] OCaml Users Survey 2023 Results

Hi everyone,

on behalf of the OCSF, I am happy to announce the (belated) report on the responses to the OCaml Users Survey 2023. We apologize for the delay in evaluating and are committed to run the OCaml Users Survey reliably in a yearly fashion from now on.

Without further ceremony, here is the link to the report:

We welcome any feedback on the report, discussion around the responses and numbers (please share your interpretations and opinions), or other commentary.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the survey to help us better understand the state of OCaml and its ecosystem! :orange_heart: :two_hump_camel:

Sabine

PS: the 2026 OCaml Users Survey is coming up. We greatly value your input on the feedback thread about 2026 survey question changes.

Great but why is Tarides running this survey instead of someone from the OCSF?

As @nojb clarified on the other thread: I am not working exclusively for Tarides, but helping the OCSF run and evaluate the survey.

As a volunteer at an unrelated non-profit org, I also understand very well what a conflict of interest is.

If you have any specific reason to assume that the survey is being evaluated or run in a way that disproportionately benefits Tarides’ interests, please bring up the specific concerns, so we can act on them.

The OCSF as a neutral instance runs the survey in order to provide the entire OCaml community with insights. That’s also why we are having the discussion about this years’ questions in the open, so that all companies and individuals in the community can contribute and help make the questions useful.

I think question 51 summary does not match up with the question.
