You know, there are no english textbook on O'Caml. Manual is not the best choice for a novice. So I am trying to study Ocaml language using "The Functional Approach to Programming" of Guy Cousineau and Michel Mauny, which is actually about Caml Light. Some Caml Light code from this book (and form others) does not work for Ocaml, for example, Ocaml report a syntax error for a definition from page 25 let neg = fun true -> false | false -> true ;; 1) Could anyone point out other known basic discrepancy between Caml Light and Ocaml that were not mentioned in the FAQ? 2) I know there is a French book "Diveloppement d'applications avec Objective Caml". Is it suits for studying functional programming and OCaml for peoples without any background in the functional programming? 3) Why did the meaning of "fun" change? Thank you in advance.
