I haven't spent enough time with dune to form an opinion (go and cargo are absolutely marvelous though) but a quick search[0] reveals that dune is not the only option. [0] <https://github.com/ocaml-community/awesome-ocaml#package-man...>

It is definitely not ideal, but they are happening. A few helpful resources: Nik Graf has a free ReasonML course on Egghead.io, which has a lot of positive reviews from the community. https://egghead.io/courses/get-started-with-reason Dr. Axel Rauschmayer has written "Exploring ReasonML and functional programming" which covers the language comprehensively. http://reasonmlhub.com/exploring-reasonml/ Web Development with ReasonML by J. David Eisenberg, published by Pragmatic Bookshelfis in the works. I read a few sample chapters and they're excellent for beginners: https://pragprog.com/book/reasonml/web-development-with-reas... Jane Street wrote a set of 24 runnable exercises that teaches OCaml, and we ported it to ReasonML. It has been used for workshops and individual study and will get you upto speed on the paradigm quickly. https://gith

For a different materials and useful libraries for OCaml there is an "Awesome OCaml" [1] repository. [1] https://github.com/rizo/awesome-ocaml

> or why I should try Haskell instead Haskell has some nice things going for it. Its syntax is cleaner than OCaml's, for example. Still, it makes some things (like having a mutable variable, or a hash table) much harder than they should be. It's worthwhile looking at both over some rainy weekends. Whichever you end up preferring, you'll have learned useful things about both languages. (OCaml is better, though ;-)) > any large cleany written codebases from which to study? There is a big list of projects using OCaml at https://github.com/rizo/awesome-ocaml Obviously, I can't vouch for cleanly-writtenness of any of them. Whichever you study would presumably depend on your area of expertise. There are packages there for anything from theorem proving to bioinformatics to web development. If you're into compilers, you could look at the OCaml co

Just to clarify, it's not concurrency that's the issue but parallelism. You can write nice concurrent code pretty easily, but writing code that runs on multiple cores is still a problem. Also, if you're interested in using OCaml for web programming, there is some pretty cool stuff you might wanna check out [1] [2] [3]. That said, there's no great solution to the lack of macros :/ [1] https://github.com/dannywillems/ocaml-for-web-programming [2] https://github.com/rizo/awesome-ocaml#web-development [3] https://facebook.github.io/reason/ [2]

Have you heard about Stog[1]? To complete your list there is also Opium[2], which is a very nice minimalistic web framework. Also there are some interesting web projects listed in Awesome OCaml list[3].

No, it's not common. Most popular projects are normally hosted on GitHub and managed with OPAM[1]. Also you can checkout some interesting projects here: <https://github.com/rizo/awesome-ocaml/> [1]: http://opam.ocaml.org
