Introducing OxCaml
At Jane Street, we’ve been actively making improvements to OCaml for a long time. Over the
last few years, we’ve started to build some fairly ambitious extensions to the
language. Our aim is to make OCaml a great language for performance engineering. This
work has always been open source, and our hope is to contribute these extensions to
upstream OCaml, but we’re still iterating on their design as we gain experience using
them. As such, we think the time has come to make it easier for people to use our
extensions in the outside world. That starts with giving our branch of the compiler the
three most important components of a modern programming language: a cool name, a cute logo
and a snazzy website. So, without further ado, we are excited to announce OxCaml.
