That sounds interesting. I've been thinking about making OCaml my next language (mostly because of the mix of functional programming and existing libraries).

Are there any books/sites/resources would you recommend I start with?

I learned OCaml off this: http://www.cs.caltech.edu/courses/cs134/cs134b/book.pdf. There are a few other tutorials listed at http://caml.inria.fr/tutorials-eng.html. Now you just have to put up with the translated-from-French error messages it gives you :) "There is no shame in being self-taught, only in not trying to learn in the first place." -- Atrus, Myst: The Book of D'ni.

I've been making my way through an online tutorial OCaml for C, C++, Perl, and Java Programmers and have been happy with that. elusion : http://matt.diephouse.com	[reply]
