Making OCaml Accessible and Learnable for More People

I think what the OCaml ecosystem misses are narratives. These can be tutorials like “Building a tiny web server with OCaml”, or “A CLI todo list in OCaml”, or cookbooks like “How to create a tree from a flat list”, “How to walk a directory tree”, or experience reports like “How I made my imperative OCaml code functional”, “How we handle 10mb of big data with OCaml”, or tips and tricks like “When to use an Array over a List”, “The perfect use case for polymorphic variants” etc.

My, this is a brilliant suggestion. Now that you mention it, I did notice that such narratives are sparse in OCaml world. I might be interested in sharing beginner’s perspective on Ocsigen stuff (Eliom, Lwt, etc.).
