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. Unlike Emacs, the ability to send the current expression, region, or buffer to the REPL isn’t available. It might sound constricting, but in practice it is very nice because [...]
Maintenance of the Tuareg mode for Emacs has been taken over by some Jane Street Capital folks and can be found here on OCamlCore. (via caml-list)
OCamlSpotter is a tool which finds definition places of various names (identifiers, type names, modules, etc) in OCaml programs automatically for you. The original OCaml’s -annot option provides the same sort of functionality but OCamlSpotter provides much more powerful browsing: it can find definitions hidden in the deep nested module aliases and functor applications.

It is my pleasure to announce that Xavier Leroy and Didier Rémy’s course on Unix system programming in Objective Caml is now available in english at this address : http://ocamlunix.forge.ocamlcore.org/ If you had a look at the individual publications of the chapters announced on the project feed you may want to have a look again: [...]
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)
In this post I read that: OCaml’s standard library is one of its weakest parts. Always use extensions to the std library. Searching around the net I find ExtLib, Batteries, and Janestreet. I’m not sure what “weakest link” meant in the original post so I will leave it wide open for any concerns that people [...]
Here is one fellow’s feedback on OCaml. It is balanced and seems useful, especially given that he links to his philosophy on languages, which appears to be a healthy one.
