If you are new to OCaml, I strongly advise you to learn it the way it
is, with its syntax (somewhat quirky[1], I admit). You are going to
learn a *lot* more than trying to fit it in your current imperative
knowledge.
Sincerely yours,
david
[1] Compared to other programming languages. I know the syntax is the
way it is for precise reasons (currying, closer to mathematical
notation, ...).
