What are your feelings on OCaml vs Haskell?
- afrozenator 14y agoI've found Haskell to be much much 'cleaner' than OCaml (syntax wise) and intellectually more stimulating (probably because that is the first functional language I started learning). My tilt towards OCaml these days is primarily due to it's reported speed (measured to be faster than GNU C on some benchmarks, I don't have the link handy, though Jane Street is using it for HFT, should be quick) and to a much lesser extent 'sacrificing' a little purity for getting the same constructs as Imperative languages. That said, I'm an absolute beginner in both languages so take my views with more than a pinchful of salt, they are subject to change as I get to know both the languages better.
