It's a resurrection of PyCaml. It's a SERIOUS project. Not a joke. Why?- Not really maintained for long. Its "maintenance" is done by Linux distribution package maintainers, but it is just to fix it compilable with the latest OCaml compiler.
- It has lots of bugs, unfortunately.
- Users easily crash program using PyCaml, using pyobject values in a wrong way.
- Design is somewhat out-of-date.
( ﾟ∀ﾟ)o彡°O'PyCaml is going to reimplement the features of PyCaml from scratch.
Features- Modern : Python/C API functions are sorted into modules which match with the modern OCaml programming style e.g. PyDict_GetItem => Dict.getItem
- Extensible : Functions can be added easily using CamlIDL + Perl script hacks
- More type safe : Python objects are more typeful e.g. _Dict t for dictionaries and _Int t for intergers. They enjoy static type-checking of python class hierarchy by OCaml's poylvariant sub-typing.
- Easy to use : Findlib + OMake friendly
