Caml is a general-purpose programming language, designed with program safety
and reliability in mind. It is very expressive, yet easy to learn and use.
Caml supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming styles.
The Objective Caml system is the main implementation of the Caml language.
It features a powerful module system and a full-fledged object-oriented layer.
It comes with a native-code compiler that supports numerous architectures, for
high performance; a bytecode compiler, for increased portability; and an
interactive loop, for experimentation and rapid development.
