Sure we have! OCaml-top [1] is very newbie friendly and work out of box,
ideal for
the first steps. Even a faster way to start is to try OCaml in your web
browser [2].
Once you feel yourself more comfortable in the language, you should
consider to switch
to emacs, vim or sublime. They all have a nice integration with OCaml,
including intellisense
like completion, code and doc lookup and incremental typechecking.
