Same guy? Not I: i have no website.

Totally agree: i think folks dont realize F# is modernized OCaml and this is approximately a typed Lisp semantically. Very useful.

I am not sure how F# which started as a .NET version of early OCaml 3 can be seen as a modernized OCaml 5? Even more so when F# has to give up on some OCaml core feature in the transition (before growing in its own language of course).

forked then modernized probably fits better, i agree

Yeah OCaml 5 seems like a different beast with the new concurrency system plus the new effects system etc. If they get a good windows install experience I want to try it out at some point but seems it is recommended currently to go through WSL or msys/cygwin (I forget which) and at this moment I'm not motivated enough to go through the hoops.

Sorry meant the writer of the book.

oh duh makes sense. yep, agree.
