Right, but people will not believe us easily because we don't show any
proof that OCaml is so great.
I don't know what we can imagine for this, but showing "success stories"
is not the only way.
I am thinking of things like "free support for 60 days" or "satisfied or
money back" (of course for things that are already free :-)
or anything that shows that we are serious.

Another adjective about OCaml: risk-free
