A friend+former colleague of mine is the lead author of ReactiveML, a synchronous extension to OCaml: http://rml.lri.fr/

We worked on a hackathon together where we built a physical chessboard interface (https://github.com/chesseye/chesseye). He built the controller, which handles among other things the output from the video recognizer and messages the chess engine, in ReactiveML. I didn't know much about the language beyond first principles then, but was impressed by how easy it made it to compose parallel processes.

We tried to convey some of those conclusions in a later presentation, even though looking at it 2 years later I realize it's probably hard to get the insights without the verbal delivery: https://github.com/chesseye/chesseye/blob/master/presentatio...

(I understand there was a ReactiveML tutorial at ICFP last Saturday: https://icfp18.sigplan.org/program/program-icfp-2018, not sure if this post is related.)
