Re: [Caml-list] Haskell vs OCaml

[Gabriel Scherer <gabriel.scherer@gmail.com>]

I see no point in keeping this thread going on, given the mediocre way
it started.

The original question was about feedback on OCaml being used to teach
programming, and I think it is good that is answered in detail if it
can help in making informed curriculum decisions. Don't hesitate to
keep providing data if you think it helps.

On the other side, there is no "competition" going on here -- and it's
indeed an excellent thing that Haskell, being a beautiful language, is
also taught at university (same for SML)! If only there were less Java
courses...

I'm sure there are interesting things to be said about "Haskell and
OCaml" (rather than "vs."), but this is not the way to start it.

"Keep Caml and Curry On"!
