While I was gone, I got a free copy of a book

[omnifarious]

I received a complimentary copy of a The Object Caml Programming Language in the mail while my journal was suspended. I received it as a gift because I was one of the reviewers.

I think it's a fairly well done book. And a nicer introduction than many out there, and it goes well beyond being an introduction in later chapters.

OCaml is a language

I love, love, love type inference and the Hindley-Milner style type systems. I tried doing some stuff in OCaml a while ago but wandered off into Haskell and SML land instead. I should probably give OCaml another shot now that I understand some of the mechanics a bit better. I often have trouble translating my OO programming habits into Haskell.
