Key Features of OCaml


OCaml

Algebraic data types

Powerful tools to define and manipulate complex data structures with ease.

Immutable programming

No need for destructive updates to data structures or accidental mutation.

Static typing

Increased performance and reduced runtime errors.

First class functions

Can be passed like any value, used as arguments, and returned from other functions.

Type inference

Automatic inference makes the code less verbose and developers more efficient.

Parametric polymorphism

Construct abstractions that work across data types, like generics in Java and templates in C++.

Get mentored the OCaml way

Every language has its own way of doing things. OCaml is no different. Our mentors will help you learn to think like a OCaml developer and how to write idiomatic code in OCaml. Once you've solved an exercise, submit it to our volunteer team, and they'll give you hints, ideas, and feedback on how to make it feel more like what you'd normally see in OCaml - they'll help you discover the things you don't know that you don't know.
