Is any of these resources updated for Ocaml 5?

It depends what you mean by “updated”. All of them should work just fine in conjuction with OCaml 5. But I don’t think any of them cover the new features of OCaml 5 (domain parallelism and algebraic effects).

Cheers,

Which reminds me the introduction to the language in the manual is fine too and covers this.

The main website has a list of books: OCaml Books
but it lists only 7 books in English. And it looks like “OCaml for Scientists” by Jon Harrop is hard to come by? (Dead link. It’s also a bit old, from 2005.)
