-##Translating between OCaml, SML, and Haskell##
-
The functional programming literature tends to use one of four languages: Scheme, OCaml, Standard ML (SML), or Haskell. With experience, you'll grow comfortable switching between these. At the beginning, though, it can be confusing.
The easiest translations are between OCaml and SML. These languages are both derived from a common ancestor, ML. For the most part, the differences between them are only superficial. [Here's a translatio nmanual](http://www.mpi-sws.org/~rossberg/sml-vs-ocaml.html).
