How to convert imperative side-effectful program to functional (in Ocaml)?

I’ve been enjoying learning ocaml, but I found it very easy to write code riddled with side effects and imperative-ness....

F# (I think) is of one of few FLs with a super corporation behind it. What can it do because of it?

I wanna see what F# is about, especially now that I am better at FP&Lip. But the Microsoft thing really puts me off. I’m on Linux, I can’t use CLR, I don’t wanna make a WPF application or whatever — so why would I use F#?

Using Ocaml to learn FP. What FP concepts should I touch on?

I just started to learn Ocaml to learn functional programming. I will use it to build a CLI that’s mostly orchestrating other programs....

In part one, we discussed how OCaml’s locality mode enables safe stack allocation. In this post, we will explore additional modes for representing ownership....

What do people here like better: typed or untyped functional languages?

My first language was Racket and so naturally I gravitated to the lispy untyped functional programming style even when I was using languages like Python or Java, but when I tried Haskell for the first time my mind was absolutely blown and I was a convert ever since. What are your thoughts?
