2nd Week: OCaml

How to make the ML programming language, for beginners.
  1. Take all the worst parts of Haskell.
  2. Make all those Haskell error messages even more obscure.
  3. Add in the noisiness of Oberon.
  4. Provide contradictory documentation.
I have no idea what I wrote but, after 90 minutes of fiddling around with punctuation marks, the practical works.

Hey, you leave Ocaml alone! It is a genius language, once you spend a year in it.
