> Wasn't `oasis` the legacy way of building projects? Thought everyone used `dune` now? Yeah, I believe new projects tend to use dune, and some older projects have switched from OASIS to dune. I personally still use OASIS mainly due to laziness. :D > But I need a quality material on everything you can do with `dune`. Can you recommend such?
