Great points. I was being too vague. My biggest gripe was that I could only learn more of the syntax from the INRIA documentation. The books and OCaml websites definitely covered a lot of general programming recipes and more common paradigms. Ultimately since there were still so few examples I always ended up having to look at the actual language reference for useful information. As we're aware though, it is outdated. In particular, I found really getting a handle on object-oriented OCaml was tough. Probably just because other aspects of OCaml could be guessed/inferred from SML/*ML documentation.

My comments on mod_ocaml were also a little vague. When I began server-side programming I loved mod_php because of how simple it was. I only brought up mod_ocaml because (if it worked) it is probably the single easiest way to start writing ocaml web pages. Given, it is absolutely not performant whatsoever. I just kinda saw it as a gateway from hobbyist-level interest.

Thanks for all your resources though!
