OxCaml is more of a competitor to Go, JS/Typescript or the Java/.NET ecosystems than these two other languages. It's also a temporary effort that's ultimately intended to feed into upstream Ocaml.

I think that’s not true; vanilla OCaml is already a competitor to Go, etc. OxCaml is explicitly an effort to compete more with Rust (the “Ox” in the name is to evoke “oxidizing” = rusting)
