OCaml

OCaml is a functional programming language with a strong type system first released in 1996. It’s derived from the ML family of programming languages. It’s designed to be a general-purpose language that can be used for a wide range of applications.

OCaml has a reputation for being a high-performance language, and it’s often used in applications that require both speed and safety. OCaml includes many common features in functional programming languages, such as algebraic data types, pattern matching, and higher-order functions. It also includes OCaml-specific features, such as polymorphic variants and modular programming.

This section will discuss the history behind OCaml, its installation and configuration, common features with F# and other functional languages, usage of the most relevant IDEs with their respective extensions, syntax, data structures, methods, some of the most used libraries, its most relevant use cases, and more.
