I suggest you try this if you're new to ocaml or interesting in trying out OCaml.
I have grown accustomed to things just working. Run a copy-pasted command from a website "just works" level. Opam is what sent me into half-day of reading about OCaml ecosystem and how things work.
The developer preview successfully abstracts a lot of things into a command you run, refresh your shell environment, and have a working dune project. Just works, like I expect.
TL;DR
Wanna try OCaml because it's Rust of functional programming? Check this out.
