The modern OCaml tooling (opam for package management, dune for building) is impressive.

It all feels very professional and industry-grade now. Really comprehensive and well-designed CLIs, proper man pages for all subcommands, and sweating the details [1]

[1] My litmus test for package managers is, when listing packages installed in an environment, is there a flag to only list packages that were explicitly installed? Many P-Ms fail this.

I agree, opam and dune are a great combination. Probably one of the easiest tool-chains I've used for any language.
