Objective CAML
Objective CAML
(language)The CAML V3.1 implementation added lazy and mutable datastructures, a "grammar" mechanism for interfacing with theYacc parser generator, pretty-printing tools,high-performance arbitrary-precision arithmetic, and acomplete library.
in 1990 Xavier Leroy and Damien Doligez designed a newimplementation called CAML Light, freeing the previousimplementation from too many experimental high-level features,and more importantly, from the old Le_Lisp back-end.
Following the addition of a native-code compiler and apowerful module system in 1995 and of the object andclass layer in 1996, the project's name was changed toObjective CAML. In 2000, Jacques Garrigue added labeled andoptional arguments and anonymous variants.
