Exploring OCaml and Eio: A Functional Programming Journey

Taking OCaml and Eio for a Spin

I decided to explore OCaml and its Eio concurrency framework after hearing about its recent renaissance. While I found Real World OCaml challenging, the CS3110 course provided a better starting point. OCaml offers a pleasant mix of functional and imperative styles, though its compiler can be frustrating during the edit cycle. I built a simple RPC server and client using Eio's deterministic effects to prepare for implementing the Raft consensus algorithm.
