lang/caml-light 0.74nb2 NetBSD

The Caml Light system comprises the following parts:

• An interactive system, based on a read-eval-print loop: the user enters a phrase, the system compiles it and executes it on the fly, then print the outcome of evaluation. The interactive system is great for learning the language and testing programs.
• A batch compiler and linker, camlc, with a command-line interface similar to the one of C compilers. The compiler produces standalone executable programs that can later be invoked just as any other command on the system. It integrates smoothly within the Unix programming environment (make, Emacs, ...).
• A medium-sized standard library, providing a number of general-purpose functions and implementations of a few essential data structures (lists, arrays, hash tables, sets, ...).
• A tool to build libraries of frequently-used program modules.
• A parser generator and a lexical analyzer generator, in the style of lex and yacc.
• Various programming tools and several interface libraries.
