I’m very proud to announce Ocamlnet 3.0.0, a completely overhauled version of Ocamlnet. Wish I had some problems that needed solving with ocamlnet! (via caml-list)

Caml Trading talk at CMU
Monday, May 31, 2010
Here is an old but good presentation about Janestreet, with a discussion of why OCaml fits in the company. When asked how they deal with the inevitable difficulty in hiring OCaml programmers, Yaron replied something to the effect that: If you don’t hire bad programmers, many things become easier.
DrScheme Style Buffer Evaluation for OCaml in Emacs
Wednesday, May 26, 2010
When you want to evaluate code inside of DrScheme, you hit the F5 key and the entire editor buffer gets evaluated inside of a new REPL.

OASIS: A Cabal-like build system for OCaml
Saturday, May 8, 2010
This is the first public release of OASIS. It aims to provide a clean and efficient way to create a configure/build and install system for your OCaml applications and libraries using a single ‘_oasis’ file. It uses OCamlbuild, or whatever you prefer (Makefiles), rather than replacing them. (via caml-list)
