Ocaml-solidity, a new OCaml library for Solidity
Continuing the thread from last week, Fabrice Le Fessant announced
I should add that the project is now available in the opam-repository, see solidity-parser and solidity-typechecker.
Release of ocaml-pandoc 0.1.0
Samuel Mimram announced
I have just released ocaml-pandoc, a native OCaml library to write filters for pandoc, which is a markdown-to-anything converter. It has allowed me to write some simple filters I needed (such as for including code snippets, which is not supported natively).
The support is not complete yet however, I might add more if needed (and pull-requests are of course accepted :slight_smile:).

Jp R announced
You want to compare the main core functions found in the OCaml Stdlib (v4.12.0), Containers (v3.3), Batteries (v3.3.0) and Base (v0.14.1) libraries ?
Check it out !
