Subject: [newbie] Caml Light vs Objective Caml
Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2000 08:35:37 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <NPAAOJOMFKFHKCAA@my-deja.com> (raw)
Hello, All.
You know, there are no english textbook on O'Caml.
Manual is not the best choice for a novice.
So I am trying to study Ocaml language using "The Functional
Approach to Programming" of Guy Cousineau and Michel Mauny,
which is actually about Caml Light.
Some Caml Light code from this book (and form others) does not work
for Ocaml, for example, Ocaml report a syntax
error for a definition from page 25
let neg = fun true -> false | false -> true ;;
1) Could anyone point out other known basic discrepancy between Caml
Light and Ocaml that were not mentioned in the FAQ?
2) I know there is a French book "Diveloppement d'applications avec
Objective Caml". Is it suits for studying functional programming and
OCaml for peoples without any background in the functional programming?
3) Why did the meaning of "fun" change?
Thank you in advance.
Sergei.
