Thanks. About why ocaml is more productive, probably my explanation will cause a flaming war, so correct me if I am wrong.
Of course, I understand monad, arrow, frp, TH, ST monad or other topics in haskell, but that does not really help solve the *real wolrd problems*. And laziness/purity is really a big hurt. I think what helps is we could share our tricks programming with ocaml, some nice tricks or techniques really help boost productivity. For example, I wrote a tiny toplevel library (like hoogle for haskell), I found it really helps. My experience in ocaml limited, and the documentation of ocaml is really lacking, so I think sharing will help the small community. I wrote the docs using latex, I digged muse tonight, I can htmlized it, if that could help sharing. I would publish it to github after Christmas.
