  4. …powerful isomorphic web frameworks. Or do you want to spin up a quick JSON API server with Cohttp ( https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-cohttp )? Or dig into a high-performance, lower-level server ( https://github.com/inhabitedtype/httpaf )?…

  5. But cohttp is slow. See https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-cohttp/issues/328 and https://github.com/inhabitedtype/httpaf

  6. Yes, Cohttp is from the folks who developed the Mirage unikernel: https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-cohttp . They make lightweight stuff that runs blazing fast.

  9. FWIW, the current preferred web server at JS seems to be https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-cohttp (which supports both Async and Lwt). I wouldn't go so far as to call it a framework, though.
