Intro to OCaml
It has been developed at INRIA for the last 30 years and has seen increased interest from a broader audience in the last few years as a tool of choice to develop not only industrial-strength compilers or program analyzers, but also advanced fin-tech platforms. This talk is a selective and personal introduction to OCaml features. As such it is bound to be partial. Here, we will first cover basic functional and imperative aspects of the language.
The second part of the talk will deal with some more advanced traits, as a first step towards making you want to explore other and deeper corners of OCaml.
