I'm asking something more. Specifically I am asking what is needed by someone doing general tasks, which libraries work best and what approaches to these topics work best with Caml.

In fact that mailing list should be more prominently mentioned since the expectation is that most people visiting are relative newbies. Also I don't think the whole question is newbie oriented. Since I'm asking for opinions some of the topics can border on advanced ( for example: parsers the Caml way ). ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
