Well... (ducks, wears helmet). Dr Jon Harrop communicated with me directly (two days ago)... and when I expressed my lack of faith after reading his "Rise and fall of OCaml" article at http://flyingfrogblog.blogspot.com/2010/08/rise-and-fall-of-ocaml.html , he in fact counter-suggested that F# is now the horse to bet on - so... what do you guys think? Over the last couple of days, I've played a lot with ocaml (to be exact, Linux/ocamlopt, since my interest in the speed of what I make remains dominant) as well as F# (with Visual Studio 2008). To my limited understanding, the differences between OCaml and F# are small - and the benefits of direct access to the .NET ecosystem of libraries seems to counter the ... uncertain status of OCaml libraries. I just begun looking into all this, so I could be very wrong, of course - but I am spoiled rotten with Python's libraries, so not having "batteries included" in OCaml seemed like quite a problem... until I realized F# completely covers this. So, to conclude - what do you guys think about F# ? > > Did this debate enlightened your views? > Did it make arise new questions? > Are you going to learn Ocaml? > > At least you know now that Ocaml has a lively community :) > I just hope it did not disgust you... > > Cheers, > V.
