What better alternative is there for handling currencies? Multiplying the original amount by 100 and casting to an int? ($3.50 -> 350)?

kingkonz1on Programming a space invader in OCaml and OpenGL: lessons learned

> it is very complicated to install the base stack to develop in OCaml

I'm not sure why the author decided to use such a complicated setup using Make and Docker.

They could have just ran `opam switch create 4.09.0`, which would have created the compiler, then `opam install ...` for the dependencies.

Still, an interesting article. I wouldn't recommending using OCaml/ReasonML for gamedev since getting it to work with Windows is pretty much impossible.
