[Blog] Getting OCaml Through the Eye of a Needle

This part reminded me of one of my early uncertainties about Opam

Unlike the author I did manage to find opam switch but I wasn’t entirely sure how to use them the way I was expecting to

However the OCaml website docs have improved quite a bit since then and it’s now only two clicks from the homepage to Learn OCaml and then to Introduction to opam Switches · OCaml Documentation helpfully listed under the intro getting started section

So kudos for that :+1:
