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

[Yaron Minsky <yminsky@janestreet.com>]

- Harvard's CS51 is the 2nd-semester course which all CS majors take,
  and it is taught in OCaml.
- Cornell's algorithms class is mandatory for all majors, and is
  taught in OCaml.
- Penn teaches OCaml in at least some of it's intro sequence.
- Not quite OCaml, but CMU teaches SML to all undergrads as part of
  its intro sequence.
- Brown does at least some OCaml in their CS curriculum, though I'm
  not sure of the details.  I just know that a goodly fraction of the
  applicants from Brown know OCaml.
- Princeton has a new FP course that teaches OCaml, that I know people
  there are pretty excited about.

There are probably more I'm missing, but that's a start
