    Sad I had to scroll to the end to see this.

    Ocaml is brilliant and has the nicest type features. It’s almost like Haskell but more approachable imo.

      Coming 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.

      I’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
