Topic: OCaml for chumby!

OCaml is now available for chumby!

Get it here.

Yes, yes, I know - OCaml is a particularly obscure programming language, but I had a really, really good reason to make it run on the chumby.

Re: OCaml for chumby!

I'm sorry, but can anyone tell me what this does in non-computer-geek language? hmm

MTASC (for some unfathomable reason) is written in OCaml.

Basically, in order to port over a really useful tool, I first had to port a not-as-useful programming language.

And that means talented programmers can use cheaper/free tools to write better applications.
Me, I'm not that good, I am stuck with Flash for a while. But I know others that use these tools.

Re: OCaml for chumby!

FWIW, OCaml is an amazing language.

Yes, it's syntax is not C like.

Some of the shortest programs that do the most I've seen are written in OCaml. You have to learn it to believe it.

Here are some pseudo relevant results for the interested:

Lines of code are much less than C and lines of code typically roughly correlates to number of bugs, ergo less bugs.

I imagine that the MTASC developers know this tongue
