Ask HN: Is it worht learning OCaml?

3 pointsby gazarullzabout 8 years ago
I am looking into learning OCaml, from the first glance it looks quite interesting as programming language, I like the pattern matching and the functional side. Beside exploratory learning are there any real opportunities in learning this language? What about a good editor to use with it (I am currently using vim)

You might want to learn Standard ML first. The &quot;Programming Languages, Part A&quot; course on Coursera is a good place to start.
