 Recently I've been teaching myself new programming languages with books. I got one for D, Elixir, Erlang, and Go. 
 
 OCaml was also on my list of languages to learn, but there is no good OCaml book available. I started reading an online course textbook (for Cornell's [CS 3110](https://cs3110.github.io/textbook/cover.html)), only to find it painfully slow, beginner-level, and aimed at course tools besides. Eventually, I found the official OCaml manual to be the best source of information.

+---
+
+I finished the text editor I was working on to learn OCaml.
+
+![caption: three people editing one document](text-editor2.png)
+
+It's (tentatively) called textmu. The selling point is that it's designed for multiple users, all SSH-ed into the same machine, to edit a document collaboratively. Otherwise, I basically made it a simplified knockoff of `nano`.
+
+Source code is [on github](https://github.com/za3k/text-multiedit).
+
+If you'd like to try it out (and don't want to compile it locally), feel free to get an account on my public server, [tilde](https://tilde.za3k.com).
+
+Also, an update. The OCaml folks said it's fine to publish their book, so you can now [get your own copy](https://blog.za3k.com/ocaml-manual/) if you want one (link goes to updated blog post with photos).
