title: comparing F# and OCaml
body: <p>I know roughly how F# and OCaml differ in terms of "features" (e.g. functors, camlp4, units of measure...). </p>
  
  <p>I wonder about the following: Concerning code that doesn't contain said features, is there a difference in coding style (other than say naming conventions) between F# and OCaml? To put it another way, if some (idiomatic) F# code can be translated in a straight forward way (maybe trivially) to OCaml, will this transformation necessarily lead to idiomatic Ocaml?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: From the links provided by Guy Coder I guess that some "idiomatic" OCaml code might not directly translate to "idiomatic" F# code due to the fact that exceptions are much slower in F# (and more widely used in OCaml). What about the other direction? Will some F#ish OCaml code ever provoke a reaction in terms of "Don't do XX that way, the OCaml way to do XX is with exceptions instead of XY.."</p>
  
  <p>Generally, what are the differences in using exceptions in OCaml when compared to the typical usage in F#. Are there other constructs that are differently used in the two languages (e.g. because of performance penalties in one language)?</p>
