We learn OCaml in CS classes at écoles préparatoires (CPGE MP) in france. It’s an amazing language, practical to implement the CS math oriented theory we just studied. Doesn’t work that great as a retention tactic to stay forever at university though
- londons_explore 1y agoLots of universities teach Haskell as part of a CS degree, and that has not too much use in the world outside academia...
- typesarecool 1y agoIt does have some places! I used it at IOHK, they use it at Mercury, a little at Meta, Galois, etc...
- Ambroisie 1y agoI'm still in love with Caml from my time in prépa, one of the reasons I'm sometimes eyeing JS for a move.
- fmajid 1y agoI had Serge Abiteboul and Xavier Leroy (author of OCaml) as TAs, teaching ML. The only effect was a deep and abiding hatred for the language.
