OCaml & .NET

OCaml & .NET

[William W Smith]

Has anyone tried porting OCaml to managed code as a
Microsoft .NET family language?  

A related question is whether there any library sets
to access the windows API or MFC directly?

You should also have a look at

http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~montela/ocamil/

even if I don't know precisely the current state of this project.

Take a look at F#:
http://blogs.msdn.com/dsyme/

It's not precisely Ocaml.NET, but it's pretty dang close.

You might be interested in Nemerle.  It's not OCaml per se, but it's
an interesting derivative.

A couple of years ago I took a stab at wrapping large parts of the Win32 API 
into an OCaml library.  You can download the library here:

Well, everyone else has already mentioned F# (but do note that it is
not full OCaml)...

Regarding your other question, there is also a somewhat/largely
complete (depending on your POV/needs) library for Win32 API access:
