So what is this about?<p>I suggest you try this if you&#x27;re new to ocaml or interesting in trying out OCaml.<p>I have grown accustomed to things just working. Run a copy-pasted command from a website &quot;just works&quot; level. Opam is what sent me into half-day of reading about OCaml ecosystem and how things work.<p>The developer preview successfully abstracts a lot of things into a command you run, refresh your shell environment, and have a working dune project. Just works, like I expect.<p>TL;DR Wanna try OCaml because it&#x27;s Rust of functional programming? Check this out.
