> The state of OCaml documentation is not great... I have had such a pain finding documentation. Generally, the only source for it is the French university that created/promotes it. That might have been true 5 years ago, but the OCaml Community site [0] is rather easy to find and links to many tutorials and books. Among these is the excellent Real World OCaml [1] book which is pretty great for experienced developers switching languages and available in print and freely online. Other resources for more beginning programmers exist as well. The INRIA resources are, indeed, rather poor and except fro the language reference, rather outdated. Directly programming for Apache hasn't been popular for years now in any language I know (actually, only mod_php is popular, if at all, mod_python is completely dead and no idea about mod_perl). Usually languages have their own servers that get reverse-proxied by a frontend server like Apache or Nginx. And for this purpose Ocsigen [2] has been available (allowing an front-and-backend OCaml approach). If something simpler is desired, CoHTTP [3] exists, which is both a HTTP client and server. Reviving mod_ocaml is, in my opinion a waste of time and effort. [0] http://ocaml.org/ [1] https://realworldocaml.org/ [2] http://ocsigen.org/ [3] https://github.com/mirage/ocaml-cohttp
