Good projects to learn OCaml and F#

Question

After learning the basic syntax, reading some non-trivial code is a fast way to learn a language. We can also learn how to design a library/software during reading others' code.

I have following lists.

1. A Chess program in OCaml by Tomek Czajka.

2. Hal Daumé has written several machine learning libraries in Ocaml. Including decision trees, logistic regression and SVM. All of them are near-production-quality code.

3. A Chess Game Analysis program in F# in Microsoft Research.

The above three are my favorites. Will you suggest some other sources? General purpose open source software are good, specialized open source like the three I list here are even more welcome.

Answer 1

Well, Unison has been recommended to me to have a look at, as well as solving various problems from Project Euler, but personally I get more done by writing my own practical programs, so I'll probably be adapting one of those into OCaml, to see how it goes.

Answer 2

Jean-Christophe Filliâtre's page has numerous programs and libraries in OCaml.

Answer 3

You have the source of the ocaml standard library which is in o'caml.

I guess you've already looked at it, but the caml hump is a good source too: Here

Answer 4

Janes Street has released several libraries here. They're actually using OCaml in an industry setting. If anything, I'd check these out.

Answer 5

Check out these series of blog entries on Bookworm problem, they are light-hearted and show F#'s multiparadigm-ness very well. The last one looks like most "functional."

• Trie-ing to optimize text search in F#
• How to really be an evil genius (with F#)
• DAWG-fight, Optimizing text search in F# II
• DAWG-Gone!
• The BookWorm challenge
