Re: [Caml-list] Use of OCaml in universities and engineering schools

[Dagnat Fabien <fabien.dagnat@telecom-bretagne.eu>]

Hello,
In Télécom Bretagne, there is/was two courses using Caml :
- For first year student (L3), for those having already followed the computer science option in preparatory school. Notice that the other are in Python and starting next year Python will be used for all first year students https://portail.telecom-bretagne.eu/portal/pls/portal/pkg_df.programmes.SHOW_FICHE?p_id_mod_er=24908
- For third year student (M2) of the computer science specialization, it used alongside with scala for functional programming and compilation. https://portail.telecom-bretagne.eu/portal/pls/portal/pkg_df.programmes.SHOW_FICHE?p_id_mod_er=25142

Notice that the evolution of the preparatory school toward Python instead of Caml is probably going to cause serious change in lot of French engineering school. Here (at TB) the consequence is a switch to Python as basic language while keeping Java for basic object oriented programming.
