I moved directly from Python to OCaml and I have to say, I’ve never been happier. Special shout outs to Jane Street, as their open source software is really solid and a pleasure to use. The community is small but really smart. Overall I thi

I'm still sad that it was cancelled. She's a great presenter and I was really excited about the series they were planning on category theory.

Can you provide an example of something you would want to be able to do with proper unicode support that is not currently possible? This is an honest question, not trying to troll you.

If you use Core, you can use the Float module together with a local open to get nice operators. open Core let () = let n = Float.(2.0 + 3.0) in printf "%f" n

The v1 version has not aged well unfortunately. I _highly_ recommend just reading the dev version.

The double semicolon only matters in the REPL (aka the "toplevel"). Off the top of my head, I can think of at least two other situations where punctuation matters: 1) Whenever you have nested match cases: match left with

Some clarifications: It has one standard library, and several alternative standard libraries of varying popularity. I would argue that Core is probably the most popular. For what it's worth, Haskell also has several replacement for i

For the record, the current story is that they are merging some multicore things into 4.08, and it will only be available as an "experimental" feature. So even after it is in the compiler, it will be a couple more revisions befor

I took the OCaml MOOC to learn OCaml programming. It had many portioned exercises, The video content was very high quality. The online code editor was pretty amazing as well, as it autoformatted the code as I typed it and even compiled an

What that means is that the language itself has no built-in constructs to distinguish Unicode, or any other encoding by default. OCaml's string type is more akin to an array of chars in C, in that it just represents a series of bytes.

Wouldn't that make perl a "write-only" language?

As an OCaml developer... I'm feeling just a _little_ jealous of those Reason error messages. Beautiful!
