OCaml Resources (2006)

Re:OCaml Resources (2006) by locokoko on Sunday May 31, 2015 @09:30AM (#9634094)

I recently looked at OCaml and quite liked it, but I was wondering if there is any SLIME/Geiser (these are the lisp and scheme IDEs for emacs) equivalent for it? I know there is tuareg-mode, but as far as I can tell it is not nearly as convenient as SLIME. Any ideas?

I don't know what you are looking for when you compare things to SLIME but I was quite satisfied with the setup they suggest in realworldocaml:

* OPAM for package management * Utop for a REPL * merlin for autocomplete and type queries * ocp-indent for aotomatic indentation

https://github.com/OCamlPro/opam-user-setup tries to make the setup even easier

I struggled to get an interactive environment for OCaml that was similar to SLIME/Cider. I recorded a video showing what I had pieced together to get a kind of repl-like env [0] and posted it to twitter, hoping people would tell me how silly that was and there was already an existing system. Turns out it's not a very high priority, the OCaml community seems to work in a different way, but I've never been able to work in person with someone to see how they do it.

That say, the type helps from Tuareg/merlin and a few other things really started to become very handy, and I miss them in ClojureScript now.
