Update: @Julow proposes to change the Reading and Writing sections like this: https://github.com/Julow/v3.ocaml.org-server/commit/5cff2c26b2d1b3c826af35bee5522e9a05a8abc6

  • The concept of flush is removed. It is covered later.
  • The with_* functions are used as they are safer and more practical.
  • The mention of open_binary is removed. It was not explained and is an advanced concept.

Overall I agree with Jules' assessment: we should promote good practices using the safe APIs and some topics need to be rearranged between advanced topics and the main section.

Closing as stalled. Feedback from Discuss was to use the Unix module instead of the standard library. If anyone would like to port this new tutorial to using Unix, contributions are welcome!
