Re:OCaml Compiler Hacking: how to add a primitive by rwmj on Thursday August 06, 2015 @05:27PM (#10019573)
The project I've been involved with at Red Hat uses OCaml in a very procedural, imperative, workaday way. We purposely don't use fancy functional stuff, except in the very few cases where it makes sense. We also freely link to C code in the same programs.

These are programs used by large numbers of generally unaware real world users. Why would they need to know - from the outside they look and behave like C binaries.

Anyway, for some big open source projects written in OCaml, take a look:
