Thanks.
About why ocaml is more productive, probably my explanation will cause a flaming war, so
correct me if I am wrong.
Of course, I understand monad, arrow, frp, TH, ST monad or other topics in haskell, but that
does not really help solve the *real wolrd problems*. And laziness/purity is really a big hurt.
I think what helps is we could share our tricks programming with ocaml, some nice tricks or
techniques really help boost productivity. For example, I wrote a tiny toplevel library (like hoogle
for haskell), I found it really helps.
My experience in ocaml limited, and the documentation of ocaml is really lacking, so I think sharing
will help the small community.
I wrote the docs using latex, I digged muse tonight, I can htmlized it, if that could help sharing.
I would publish it to github after Christmas.
Merry XMas :-)

A good idea.

You could put the above paragraph into the preface.
And mention, that even you found OCaml to be the most
productive language, you even want to become more productive,
and that was the reason for your book... (that's what I understood).
Maybe you could elaborate a littlebid more about why you
think that OCaml is most productive.
It's of course also my conclusion from looking at a lot of languages.
But you might be better in explaining it.
You asked for help.
Can you specify more detailed, which kind of help you are looking for?
Ciao,
Oliver
