Thanks for letting us know and congratulations to Gabor.

Wasn't that the "challenge" where they wouldn't even accept solutions
written in many other languages (including both OCaml and F#)?

Cheers,
Jon.

Question: There is no starter package for my favorite language. What
shall I do?

Answer: You don't know C++, Java, or Python? Okay fine. Tell the forums
what starter package you want to see, and we will try our best
to make it for you.

The folks working on Lisp submissions apparently created their own
starter package. I am sure that something similar could have been done
for OCaml or F#.

That's probably too bad. These types of competitions are good publicity
for less popular languages (assuming that the bots to well).

Ocaml is one of the supported lang. See:

there are 12 teams using OCaml. See:
