Caml is a strongly-typed functional programming language from the ML family, close to Standard ML but slightly different. WWW: http://pauillac.inria.fr/caml/index-eng.html The Caml Light system comprises the following parts: - An interactive system, based on a read-eval-print loop. - A batch compiler and linker, `camlc'. The compiler produces standalone executable programs. - A medium-sized standard library. - A tool to build libraries of frequently-used program modules. - A parser generator and a lexical analyzer generator, in the style of lex and yacc. - Various programming tools: - A source-level debugger with replay capabilities (``time travel''). - An hypertext browser for modules. - A simple Emacs editing mode, plus the ability to run the - toplevel or the debugger under Emacs. - Search by types on modules. - Several interface libraries: - Portable graphic primitives (simple line and text drawings). - Interface with the Unix system calls. - Arbitrary-precision rational arithmetic (extremely efficient). - High-level string operations (regular expressions, ...).
