OCaml's toolset includes an interactive toplevel [[interpreter]], a bytecode [[compiler]], and an optimizing native code compiler. It has a large standard library that makes it useful for many of the same applications as [[Python]] or [[Perl]], as well as robust modular and object-oriented programming constructs that make it applicable for large-scale software engineering. |

OCaml is the successor to [[Caml Light]]. The acronym CAML originally stood for Categorical Abstract Machine Language, although OCaml abandons this abstract machine. |
