I wrote the Osiris library, a native Win32 GUI 100% OCaml which is built on top of the OCaml Win32 API . This enable you to easily create and manipulate GUI components ( as easy as Borland VCL but still incomplete ). Then I wrote and XML toplevel so that you can write your interface in xml ( this took me only two days, and the result is far more readable that any C equivalent would have been ). This done, I created a tool called "Dragoon3" which was designed to be a multi user resources sharing platform for the 3D game my company was planning : Virtual file system, duplicate data stored in DB, check in & out, and plugins enable.... all in Ocaml. Then I finally wrote the 3D Engine for the game ( DirectX based ) and interfaced it with OCaml so I could instanciate and manipulate 3D objects with it. The results have been very good : 2x speedup in development process, shorter code : easier to maintain, and great perfs.
