  • Does type inference renders the code less readable ?
    1 project | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 31 Oct 2022
    Here's a straight example: I've searched for a list of "awesome" OCaml libraries, chose "Batteries Included" which is apparently a widely-used OCaml library, and navigated to its source code on GitHub. Here's a random file:
  • F# (in)compatibility
    3 projects | /r/ocaml | 14 Jul 2022
    Batteries Included got its implementation of Seq back in 2009: https://github.com/ocaml-batteries-team/batteries-included/commit/d67bfc69c79caa6b712ada4af0c6df604fb823b4
  • What would a principled imperative language look like?
    5 projects | /r/ProgrammingLanguages | 13 Sep 2021
    Another example is imperative control flow. OCaml and SML only have basic loops, they don't have returns, breaks, continues. You can simulate them with exceptions, even in a generic way if you use some higher-order functions. Getting good performance for these kind of returns would rely on inlining this function and optimizing local exceptions, which OCaml probably doesn't do as of now.
