Ocaml My Caml

[@mattwilly7959]

One more year and Prime will be using Haskell

[@TankorSmash]

I think there's a realistic chance of that happening. Once you get over the hump of the ML-style syntax like he's doing now, it's not that far of a leap. I'm excited to keep watching.

[@AG-ur1lj]

@@TankorSmashdidn’t he already use Haskell to build the CHADstack? My guess is that he generally likes how GC works in Haskell, but doesn’t like being unable to opt-out and “just mutate that son of a bitch”

[@TankorSmash]

@@AG-ur1lj I don't think he got very deep in it, did he? I thought it was just a bit of it and bounced off. With OCaml, it'll be an easier adjustment it looks like. He's already learning pipes.

[@AG-ur1lj]

@@TankorSmash you got me, I did not watch much of the CHADstack series. I suspect you are correct and that the use of Haskell was kept to a minimum

[@TankorSmash]

@@AG-ur1lj Hold on, now I'm invested! Give me a sec to do some investigative research

[@Jabberwockybird]

I've been making this pun on every video that mentions ocaml. So I'm so happy to find that this video exists and that's the title.

[@draakisback]

Oh yes I did the advent of code this year in a ocaml as well. It's such a great language. It takes some getting used to but once you do get used to it it's very intuitive.

[@TankorSmash]

This was a lot of fun to watch, thanks for uploading!

I think the whole StringMap business is the whole partial application business. StringMap is a Map whose keys are strings. It doesn't say anything about its values. This is likely cuz Map is a functor in its values only. Haskell does something similar, but they do it by having the last type param be the one that you can vary easily

prime has an ocamltoe

[@chris-pee]

I feel like ReasonML dialect would be easier for Prime to learn, with the same benefits. Learning functional itself, and the alien syntax at the same time is hard.

[@amafi_poe]

I've been messing with f# a bunch lately, ocaml looks just different enough to be very confusing at a glance

[@mcspud]

Its not. If you can F# you can definitely caml

[@amafi_poe]

@@mcspud yeah, if I actually look at it. Just seeing it come across the screen in this video there are just some things that catch me out. Might be the code prime is writing too,of course.

[@apefu]

I haven't done ML in over a decade so this is weirdly confusing. I get it on another level than Prime, but also I don't really get it either :)

Nice
