Well you need to build your software. My packages tend to have a super simple makefile around dune, because I'm used to type `make` but claiming one can write modern OCaml without learning a bit how to build it is naive at best. It's like *any* other language, you got to learn a bit of tooling (even python — good luck with pip or conda — or javascript with its pile of tools that change all the time. Oh and what about cmake?) > But if you just want to use OCaml for your programming, > why additionally need to learn opam and now dune? Because `ocamlopt foo.ml -o foo` won't scale. -- Simon Cruanes
