The most interactive meetup in while! 30 minutes past the set meetup time, and discussions still did not end. We had to take it over to a Discord voice channel.

We had a very interesting mix of hobbyist OCamlers, static analysis engineers and newcomers discussing what OCaml is and how it compares to Java, Scala and others. As an organiser, I usually set aside 15-20 minutes, before and after the planned discussions, for free-form discussions. This one happened to be the most lively one. We shared important links on this Discord thread

We, then, proceeded to live-code the HTML5 Canvas game tutorial on Mozilla Developer Network but with Reason. The code can be found here.

Next Meetup

We couldn't cover the entire tutorial. So, it will be continued by AC Sreedhar in a future meetup. More details here

Next weekend, we'll be discussing Nikhil Bijapur's Monopoly Deal, a card game. We plan to learn how this game was built with OCaml and live-code with him. Details can be found here
