>When I used OCaml, I almost never used the object system. I didn't need it. Me neither, but it is still part of the language and adds a ton of complexity. 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.
