  Absolutely recommend following gps advice on starting with sml - ocaml has some... Bumps. But the other option would be to just start with the reasonml dialect of ocaml: https://reasonml.github.io/ https://reasonml.github.io/ And just FYI, reasonml "is-a" ocaml, so you can also build binaries with the regular compiler back-end - you're not "locked" to targeting js.

    > And just FYI, reasonml "is-a" ocaml, so you can also build binaries with the regular compiler back-end - you're not "locked" to targeting js. The full isomorphism is great. I started with the Reason syntax and when I decided I preferred standard syntax[1], I just use formatting tools to convert my codebases in O(1) effort. 1: Because of tool maturity, and the ecosystem around the standard syntax specifically. I wanted to be able to run `dune utop`, but getting that working with Reason was a WIP; and then there's syntax extensions... And docs are in the OCaml syntax, except the BS ecosystem, which is conveniently bilingual
