Ocaml is the worst variant of ML in my opinion. Like usual, programmers always seem intent on making the worst option the biggest one (seriously, SML syntax is better than Ocaml syntax in almost every way).

Except that for the most part, that's subjected, and even more importantly, there are plenty of reasons to prefer OCaml over SML even if you don't like the syntax.

The syntax might be better, but the "ML for the Working Programmer" book was the only place I actually saw some SML code being used.
