- michaelochurch 13y agoWhen I used OCaml, I almost never used the object system. I didn't need it. The "full" OCaml is pretty complicated, but most of the libraries don't force the "O" on you. (That said, if you're going to use OCaml, you should use the Jane Street libraries, which are far better than the standard library.)

Which makes the analogy of ocaml to C vs haskell to C++ quite poor. >The "full" OCaml is pretty complicated Precisely the point. The full C++ is pretty complicated too. The full haskell is far simpler than either. >That said, if you're going to use OCaml, you should use the Jane Street libraries They didn't exist when I used ocaml, and I would never go back to ocaml now.
