Someone wrote a tutorial on full stack development in OCaml.

> Hi everyone! I’ve written a tutorial blog series about full-stack web development in OCaml, and wanted to share it here. Last semester, I took Penn State’s CMPSC 431W, where our final project was to build a database-driven web application. Since I’m...

I’m getting familiar with [(Haskell, Elm)](https://mmhaskell.com/) by the time, but its nice to see alternatives like [(OCaml, ReasonML)](https://reasonml.github.io/docs/en/what-and-why) since it comes from the same family of ML languages, although with different designs in mind.

**Note:** In general, its good to have alternatives whether in physical or digital life. The more alternatives we have for a particular need or service, the more healthier becomes our communities.

What I like about Dream is that it seems very serious about becoming feature complete and solving concrete problems rather than a half complete academic or thought exercise implemented by people forced to write software instead of doing research.
