The OCaml Platform v1.0, by Anil Madhavapeddy

The OCaml Platform combines the OCaml compiler toolchain with a coherent set of tools for build, documen- tation, testing and IDE integration. The project is a collab- orative effort across the OCaml community, tied together by the OCaml Labs group in Cambridge and with other major contributors listed above. The requirements of the Platform are being guided by the industrial OCaml Consortium (primarily Jane Street, Citrix and Lexifi).

This talk follows up the OCaml 2013 talk that introduced the Platform. Since then, many tools have been released in parallel via the OPAM package manager, and this year’s talk will demonstrate the concrete workflow that ties them together (see Figure 2). We will first recap the Platform ethos briefly, update on the OPAM package manager v1.2, and conclude with the Platform workflow.
