> 2 for easy to use libraries (it is so hard to find the right function, I > have to search thru the PDF-file all the time), I find that Emacs is an excellent tool for searching for functions in the OCaml library. The developers have helpfully provided a pure-ascii version of the documentation, and a couple of incremental searches usually gets me to what I want in a few second. Occasionally I even do searches based on types. For example, I can never remember the convention for naming conversion functions. Is it int_to_string or string_to_int or string_of_int or...? A simple search for "int -> string" settles the question in moments. :-) B
