I realize that this helps improve performance, but does it prevent spelling errors?

GNOME Platform Stormclouds Posted Mar 28, 2004 6:40 UTC (Sun) by Cato (subscriber, #7643) [Link] Yes, OCaml prevents spelling mistakes in variable names and any type mis-matches, just like C/C++ type checking. In addition, it can also catch more subtle errors - my OCaml page (see original post) has a link to an example where a similar language's compiler detected an infinite loop at compile time
