Who would be cruel enough to expose the masses to OCaml?

  At least it ain't Clojure.

  It was cruel to expose JS to the masses.

    I wouldn't mind living in the alternate universe where browsers adopted Ocaml as the built-in scripting language instead of JavaScript.

    I like both JS and Ocaml. Should I seek medical attention?

  It seems like Haskell minus the laziness and enforced purity. So really, far less cruel :)

  One of the early programming classes I took in grad school (taught at Harvard) was focused on OCaml. It was a wild jump but gave me a newfound respect for functional languages. Come to think of it though, I’m convinced the class was sponsored by Jane Street or something.

  It's probably a great book, but I think Elixir is better for the masses.
