[plug] What programming languages are popular in Perth?

[John McCabe-Dansted]

My job isn't primarily about software development, but to be different:

1. Ocaml
2. Ocaml

2 may not seem different from 1 but OCaml comes in a few dialects.  in
particular interpreted and compiled. In the interpreted one you need to add
"#load ..." to the ml file while in the compiled dialect this is
disallowed. The compiled dialect is fast but I seem to spent more time
debugging the debugger than my own code. Debugging the interpreted dialect
is easier but it isn't exactly fast. For me (2) is a hypothetical dialect
that can be both compiled and interpreted. Come to think of it, I could
probably write a preprocessor to strip out the lines starting with "#",
that should be good enough.
