OCaml code compiles to native code running in the OCaml runtime, which is
as performant as compiled C++ code. The OCaml runtime is just used for
memory management, and very small compared to a JVM or Python runtime. As

an example, our TLS library has up to 85% of the bulk throughput of OpenSSL (using
AES128-CBC). The TLS handshake performance is equal with OpenSSL.
OCaml code can be very fast (our TLS implementation reaches up to
85% of the throughput of OpenSSL), and compiles either to native code on various
architectures or to bytecode. It can even compile to JavaScript. OCaml is
memory managed, individual developers don't have to manually allocate and
release memory (which is a common source of security issues in other operating
systems).
### Dependency management
OCaml has a unique module system. A module specifies abstract datatypes
