new chapters to consider for v2

[avsm]

From https://twitter.com/avsm/status/1316324769718063104

summary is: (to edit)

• Building (dune)
• packaging and distributing code (OPAM)
• dealing with complex projects with a mix of C, Rust and JavaScript
• expect tests
• fuzzing (crowbar)
• documentation (odoc)
• debugging (ocamldebug, rr)
• performance debugging (ctf, perf, memtrace)
• Structuring OCaml codebases eg how to design with modules. Without adding 1000 pages to the book I’d like to have a Advanced Real World OCaml book that pushes on property testing, GADTs and other clever language features
• Maybe a chapter on incremental?
• Tips for structuring very large OCaml projects
• Dune would be really cool
• I'd love to see a bit around structuring larger projects with tooling that's come along since the last revision - Dune, in particular, but I'm sure there are others...
• An introduction to monads, e.g., lwt, and the new operators let+, let* and applicative functors.
• There is a chapter about parsing, but almost nothing on pretty-printing.
• JSOO, consuming databases in OCaml
• A little more information about PPX please
• UTF-8 string processing!
• Antipatterns chapter or index entry.

all of them sound great, but extra :+1: for UTF-8 string processing, PPX, and intro to monads/let+/let*/applicative functors :slightly_smiling_face:

IMHO tooling, testing, debugging and guidelines/best practices for large projects would be a valuable addition to the existing OCaml literature and would justify the "real world" of the title.

Well, there's a draft of the testing chapter up now...

The v2 chapters have been finalized, so closing this issue.
