8thlight / ocaml_koans

These are OCaml koans. Written as part of the Weirich Software Institute Mongeeses cohort

These are the first, the original, the only OCaml koans. They are currently blank, as we'll do them in class.

Setup

This assumes you installed OCaml like a good egg, you can start by using opam to setup the version of ocaml that we're using. This will also create an isolated environment, much like rvm.

cd ocaml-koans
opam switch create . 4.06.1

When you enter the directory now you don't have bindings for any tools like utop, even if you installed them globally. So install them now:

opam install utop merlin alcotest ocp-indent dune base

Technically you only need alcotest to make this run, but the other libraries are useful for editor integration and a nice REPL.

Running Tests

Run the koans by running dune runtest. This works like make, so it only runs on changes.
