== Overview

OCaml is a functional, statically-typed programming language from the

ML family, offering a powerful module system extending that of

Standard ML and a feature-rich, class-based object system.

OCaml comprises two compilers. One generates bytecode which is then

interpreted by a C program. This compiler runs quickly, generates

compact code with moderate memory requirements, and is portable to

many 32 or 64 bit platforms. Performance of generated programs is

quite good for a bytecoded implementation.  This compiler can be used

either as a standalone, batch-oriented compiler that produces

standalone programs, or as an interactive REPL system.

The other compiler generates high-performance native code for a number of

processors. Compilation takes longer and generates bigger code, but the

generated programs deliver excellent performance, while retaining the

moderate memory requirements of the bytecode compiler. The native-code

compiler currently runs on the following platforms:

|====

|                |  Tier 1 (actively maintained)   | Tier 2 (maintained when possible)

| x86 64 bits    | Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD  |  NetBSD, OpenBSD

| x86 32 bits    | Linux, Windows                  |  FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD

| ARM 64 bits    | Linux, macOS                    |  FreeBSD

| ARM 32 bits    | Linux                           |  FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD

| Power 64 bits  | Linux                           |

| Power 32 bits  | Linux                           |

| RISC-V 64 bits | Linux                           |

| IBM Z (s390x)  | Linux                           |

|====

Other operating systems for the processors above have not been tested, but

the compiler may work under other operating systems with little work.

== Installation

See the file link:INSTALL.adoc[] for installation instructions on

machines running Unix, Linux, macOS, WSL and Cygwin.  For native Microsoft

Windows, see link:README.win32.adoc[].

== Documentation

The OCaml manual is distributed in HTML, PDF, and Emacs

Info files.  It is available at

https://ocaml.org/releases/latest/manual.html

== Availability

The complete OCaml distribution can be accessed at

https://ocaml.org/docs/install.html

== Keeping in Touch with the Caml Community

There is an active and friendly discussion forum at

https://discuss.ocaml.org/

The OCaml mailing list is the longest-running forum for OCaml users.

You can email it at

mailto:[email protected][]

You can subscribe and access list archives via the Web interface at

https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/subscribe/caml-list

An alternative archive of the mailing list is also available at

https://inbox.ocaml.org/

There also exist other mailing lists, chat channels, and various other forums

around the internet for getting in touch with the OCaml and ML family language

community. These can be accessed at

https://ocaml.org/community/

In particular, the IRC channel `#ocaml` on https://libera.chat/[Libera] has a

long history and welcomes questions.

== Bug Reports and User Feedback

Please report bugs using the issue tracker at

https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/issues

To be effective, bug reports should include a complete program (preferably

small) that exhibits the unexpected behavior, and the configuration you are

using (machine type, etc).

For information on contributing to OCaml, see link:HACKING.adoc[] and

link:CONTRIBUTING.md[].
