Who wrote this? I haven't been able to find an author yet, and the supposed source repo (https://github.com/quantitative-finance-with-ocaml as per https://qcaml.com/appendices/appendix-e-setup/ ) is a 404.
Good observation. Also there is some funny stuff with what the book say referenced appendices do and what those actually explain

I wonder if the prompt was: “write a quantitative finance with ocaml book. Make no mistakes”
Probably more like 'Here's a quantitative finance book, port over all the code to OCaml'
It looks very AI-generated.
A lot of this is completely wrong for their Java comparisons.
This seems fun but... kinda sus....
