I'm reasonably competent in Haskell and am interested in checking out OCaml. Can anyone recommend any good resources (books, tutorials, etc.) for someone like m

    Based on the introduction, that looks like a great book which I definitely wouldn't have found on my own, so thanks for the suggestion! I'll have to give it a try when I have some time.

      I have some more older links, ocaml changed a bit over time, but I think they are still relevant: https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/oreilly-book/html/index.html https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/oreilly-book/html/index.html https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/u3-ocaml/ https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/u3-ocaml/ https://ocaml.github.io/ocamlunix/ https://ocaml.github.io/ocamlunix/

  This book is free online: https://dev.realworldocaml.org/ https://dev.realworldocaml.org/ I like Exercism for coding exercises that have runnable test cases: https://exercism.io/tracks/ocaml https://exercism.io/tracks/ocaml

  If you're competent in Haskell, and you've ever done any lisp, you should feel right at home with ocaml. The other posters mentioned good books already. Another resource is Emacs + merlin, it really is magic when working with ocaml.

  I struggled quite a bit to pick up Haskell. OCaml was comparatively a breeze to learn, and a lot of fun too.
