They also may not be a good entry point for total newcomers. The examples from the CamlLight distribution seem like the right type. Simple yet complete enough to see a combination of different topics (loops, input from user, etc..). >There are good reasons why Objective Caml documentation cannot match >that of bigger projects, Which are?
