Your point of view is rather supporting mine.

So, the problem with OCaml is the attitude of OCamlers in using precise and contextual terminology?

Let's adopt PHP jargon! YEAH! ;-)

The fact that this is ridiculous does not show that I am wrong.

OCaml has been the first functional language I learned. Alone, without a teacher, and the new (to me), precise, lexicon of this community (in contrast with the OO/Java vocabulary I was used to) is exactly one of the best values of the language.

In your style I would say so let's close all computer science departments and fire all IT trainers.

But I think the case of people complaining on stackoverflow about "trying to wrap my head around FP for months, with little result..." is more common.
