Feedback Wanted: Upcoming OCaml Users Survey 2026 Questions

Q9. Could we add Android/iOS apps to go alongside “web frontend”?

Q??. I’ll second the addition of a question about CPU architectures. This week the thread Dropping some intermediate OCaml versions from CI claimed that ARM32 is “completely irrelevant”. Given the hundreds of millions of Android users who use armeabi-v7a as their mobile device (cf. [ANN] Simplified Android cross-compiler with DkML) or devs who want to target the other Android Wearables / TV / etc categories that still (!) use ARM32 (Google embraces the future, mandates 64-bit apps for Wear OS - Android Authority), we could gauge whether survey respondents want the same CPU capabilities that most general purpose languages provide.

Q20. Could we split the “translating from other languages” into “translate code from other languages into OCaml” and "translate OCaml into other languages "? I think very few people are doing the latter today, but … it is a technique I’m adopting to mitigate OCaml’s lack of first-class support for widely used platforms like Windows and Android, and I suspect others who love OCaml as their primary programming language may adopt it by your next survey.

Thanks!
