[Caml-list] How to shape our [SW construction] course?

[Caml-list] How to shape our [SW construction] course?

[Kwangkeun Yi]

Hi OCamlers,

We at Seoul National University are changing our programming curricula 
so that junior CS students will be trained to build rather big 
softwares. After some discussions we decided to use C++ :-(

Is there any good idea on nudging(or even forcing) programming in C++ 
become more like programming in OCaml? I want our students to enjoy the 
merits of high-level, higher-order & typed programming language in this 
class even in C++. Would it be possible?

Maybe I need to build some layer of libraries...
I'd like to hear, if any, more interesting ideas or your experience in 
this context.

All the best,

-Kwang

My recommendation is to commit fully to the new C++11 standard, which has a
number of functional features, including closures.  These are now supported
by recent C++ compilers.

Maybe the cppml project will help you:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cppml/

The main developer said this version is a bit out of date but is willing to
push a new release if there's interest.

It's deep sorrow. 
Without your course, there may be no chance to hit the name "OCaml" in South Korea.
