I've been thinking about teaching myself a functional programming language as a side project. Is there any reason to pick OCaml over F#?

- Jam0864 12y agoBetter cross-platform support. In my experience .NET works fine in Mono anyway, so by extension F# is likely fine on Linux/OSX, but your mileage may vary.

- cwyers 12y agoWell, my personal machine runs Windows, and at work we're a heavy C#/SQL Server shop, so .Net is fine with me.
