I finally got around to making my own Vim colour scheme. It’s a bit basic at the moment, there are probably a lot of Vim situations that I don’t see so it doesn’t cater for. But then all Vim colour schemes are defined as a set of differences from the default, so it won’t, like, break at any point. I’ll upload it at some point soon. I’m working on a revised version of the content section to contain much, much more stuff, so I’ll put it up with all that.

By the way, I didn’t really mention it when talking about my OCaml solution for the BCS contest, but I really like OCaml. I’ve been reading about Haskell more, to the point of having bought a Haskell book today, but it does seem a little abstract. OCaml is the Perl of functional languages. It’s powerful and it’s really usable. It’s got lots of syntax, unlike Lisp (the C of FP?), including good OO and imperative constructs for those times when those approaches are more useful. Now I’m writing this I can’t quite put my finger on exactly why, but I enjoyed hacking in OCaml a lot. Although that’s possibly because I enjoyed having my brain taxed a bit by FP and severely taxed by camlp4 parsing.
