Dear OCamlers,

While fairly specialized, the 1st workshop on configuration languages
may be of interest for some of you, in particular the programming
language design aspect of it. Also, some tools of the OCaml ecosystem
(I'm thinking about Dune e.g.) are more directly related to the themes.
Cheers,
Yann
