The author compares Haskell and OCaml, highlighting Haskell’s elegant syntax and abundance of features while praising OCaml for its simplicity. They delve into code snippets, feature comparisons, and the nuances of each language’s ecosystem. Haskell’s tooling is described as a rollercoaster of emotions, while OCaml’s is straightforward and functional. The differences in compiler messages, standard libraries, and documentation are noted, with a preference for OCaml for its focus on productivity. Overall, both languages are praised for their industrial support, with a nod to OCaml for allowing more concentration on building actual projects.
