I for one was quite disappointed to have bought the book "Real World OCaml" only to notice that it wasn't supported on Windows.

So aside a short gig to port old Caml Light code that I had lying around into OCaml, I actually spend my ML like coding in F#.



why did you buy the book, you can read it free online


I like to give money to the people for their efforts, so that they can work on technologies that I appreciate.

The writers of the book have bills to pay.


I usually buy online books to support the project. Not the person who bought this book.


Same with me.

Sure I was disappointed, but sponsoring the people working on OCaml is more important.


I don't know about others, but having a physical book sometimes motivates me to read it more than a digital copy would.
