To learn OCaml

Published: October 15th 2024 (week 42 of 2024)

It was on my radar for the longest time, and I have finally decided to pull the trigger and do it. I am going to learn OCaml.

I have wanted to create my own programming language since forever. I even kind of succeeded, given my engineer's thesis was for a programming language I did actually implement. The results were never "production ready", though, and something was always missing.

OCaml is said to be a good choice for implementing a language, given its Standard ML lineage. I will see how true it is, but before I have another go at writing a compiler I will first go through the Real World OCaml book.
