I wonder if there's any overlap between this and https://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/ocaml_for_scientists/index.html https://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/ocaml_for_scientists/..., or would it still be helpful to read both of them?
- forgotpwd16 6y agoThat's what the kind of book it came to my mind when I read the title. No, they differ though there is slight overlap and yes, someone should read them both. OfS first, OSC next. Specifically. OfS is an introductory OCaml book (first half) which has example usage of interest to scientists (second half). OSC though it has some introductory text per section is mostly concerned in showing Owl, which is what you'll end up using.
- dna_polymerase 6y agoIs OfS available anywhere? Not that I advocate for piracy, but the site seems abandoned and the payment link is dead.
- chalst 6y agoThat book was published in 2005, so I guess they will not be close competitors.
- marmaduke 6y agoI think the ff people moved on to f# for performance reasons. Owl is fairly new, and it has hopefully been able to learn from other ecosystems like Python.
