Technical Presentation Software written in OCaml

Technical Presentation Software written in OCaml

[Jon Harrop]

For anyone who is interested in commercial exploits using OCaml, we are 
releasing our first stand-alone sofware package, Presenta.

Presenta is an OpenGL-based slideshow presentation program with support for 
animated points, typeset mathematics, 2D and 3D graphics:

The whole program is just under 10,000 LOC, entirely OCaml. The core of the 
program is a general purpose 2D vector graphics library (Smoke) which we've 
been developing for the past six years and which was translated from C++ into 
OCaml 2 years ago, with great success.

We currently support only x86 and AMD64 Linux but we are also considering 
supporting Mac OS X as well.

Let me know what you think! :-)

I'm helping on another commercial project with OCaml: a search engine.
I'll keep everybody posted as we get some data and open up the front
end.

Looks very cool! Btw, you don't need nVidia drivers, the free DRI-based
ones work very well (e.g. on my Intel i850 laptop).

I have now also a commercial product written in O'Caml: UMLMON, a
monitor for User Mode Linux. As I am mainly targeting the German market,
there is currently only documentation in German:
http://www.gerd-stolpmann.de/umlmon. An international version may follow
if there is enough interest.

UMLMON is a classic multiplexing daemon that starts and stops User Mode
Linux instances, manages a communications path with them, and does a
number of other nice things. Thanks O'Caml it has been developed within
six weeks, and is now practically bug-free. Show me another system
software developed that quickly.
