The examples from "The Little MLer" in OCaml

The Little OCamler

Most of the code examples from The Little MLer, a wonderful book from the "Little Xer" series, in OCaml and ReasonML.

I thought other people who might have had the same idea as me might find it useful to have something to cross-reference, in case they get stuck because of some syntax idiosyncrasy in either SML or OCaml/ReasonML.

Do not just copy-paste this code into the REPL. Type it yourself, and only consult this if you have trouble with the syntax.

This is just a translation of the SML examples to OCaml, to the best of my efforts. Just don't expect idiomatic code or anything.

But why?

While I am sure SML is a great language, when I started reading The Little MLer I only had the OCaml compiler on my computer.

Because I am a lazy person, I decided to take this as an opportunity to learn OCaml too.

Now with ReasonML examples

Thanks to @hzamir, a translation to ReasonML syntax has been added under the reasonml/ directory.
