Could an Ocaml tag be created? Thanks!

    Might make more sense to have an ML catch-all tag than an ocaml-specific one.

      That works for me too.

        would we include F# in that tag as well?

        1. 1

          I’d vote against that. F# is pretty different from *ml

          1. 3

            In what way? I’ll admit only a cursory examination of F#, but I’ve nontrivial experience with both SML and ocaml, and F# seemed in the family to me.

            1. 1

              Being embedded in .Net seems to bring a pretty big cultural difference (so I like the dotnet tag proposal). Additionally, the lack of functors and polymorphic variants seem to detract from two major modeling efforts in OCaml.

              But again, ml + dotnet is indicative enough to me.

            2. 2

              We could differentiate by including both the ml and dotnet tags

              1. 2

                see dotnet

                edit: whoops, interpreted your comment as saying, “there is no dotnet tag.” I now understand that you were suggesting F# posts have both the ml the dotnet tags, which is a sound idea.

                1. 6

                  No matter.

                  Keep Caml and Curry on.

              I would appreciate a types tag for type system related posts.

            2. 6

              i’d love a functional-programming tag too, or maybe even instead
