Re:Caramel: An OCaml for the Erlang VM by akavel on Saturday March 06, 2021 @05:58AM (#26366609)
In the installation guides, please mention at least in passing that it needs Erlang to be installed as a prerequisite. Being a casual reader, I wasn't sure about that until I found https://caramel.run/manual/getting-started/first-steps.html#.... Notably, the "it's just a single binary" might be highly misleading in this context for people not coming from the BEAM users community.

Also, it would be super cool if I could easily find a list of limitations/differences vs. conventional OCaml language & runtime. And a hello-world snippet on the front page (or possibly some other tiny one showing some cool BEAM feature), it took me a while to find the "examples" folder in the github repo.

Please note those are just some tiny complaints rooted in the fact that I absolutely love what you did here! :)
