minus-squarepaperplane@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 hours agoComing from Haskell, OCaml always felt a bit strange to me. The double semicolons, the inconsistency in the standard library between curried and uncurried functions etc. Maybe I’m confusing it with Standard ML though, can’t remember.
minus-squarexigoi@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 hours agoI’ve recently been trying to learn OCaml and find it really nice. The major pain points are C-style separate compilation with manually created headers Small standard library No generic print function Hard to use external libraries
