I think the existing books cover the core parts of the language well so there
is no need for further work in that area but I would like to see books
covering the following topics:
. Batteries (!).
. Libraries, e.g. LablGTK.
. Post 3.10 camlp4.
. Other tools, e.g. menhir, dpygen, bitstrings, micmatch.
There are also some areas where I think today's OCaml software could be
improved:
. Automatic FFI stub JIT compilation using LLVM.
. OpenGL 3 bindings.
. GUI libraries.
. IDEs (probably depends upon GUI libraries).
