Objective Caml, or OCaml (pronounced /oʊˈkæməl/ oh-KAM-əl) is the main implementation of the Caml programming language, created by Xavier Leroy, Jérôme Vouillon, Damien Doligez, Didier Rémy and others in 1996. OCaml is a free open source project managed and principally maintained by INRIA.
OCaml extends the core Caml language with object-oriented constructs.
OCaml's toolset includes an interactive toplevel interpreter, a bytecode compiler, and an optimizing native code compiler. It has a large standard library that makes it useful for many of the same applications as Python or Perl, as well as robust modular and object-oriented programming constructs that make it applicable for large-scale software engineering.
OCaml is the successor to Caml Light. The acronym CAML originally stood for Categorical Abstract Machine Language, although OCaml abandons this abstract machine.
ML-derived languages are best known for their static type systems and type-inferring compilers. OCaml unifies...
