in thread Useful non-Perl-specific references
People are very productive using this language and write very effective type-safe programs. The ML class of languages fares very well in programming contests.
Perl6 will deal with (optional) types and I hope that it will get some good stuff from the other camel. Actively studying OCAML, I wonder how many Perl6 ideas originate from there or from some other common source. Example: the idea of a clean way to extend the grammar is evoked in this slide (the whole set is a must read for people familiar with C++ and Scheme).
yapc::eu will include a lightning talk about OCAML.
