longDescription =
'' Objective Caml is the most popular variant of the Caml language.
From a language standpoint, it extends the core Caml language with a
fully-fledged object-oriented layer, as well as a powerful module
system, all connected by a sound, polymorphic type system featuring
type inference.
The Objective Caml system is an industrial-strength implementation
of this language, featuring a high-performance native-code compiler
(ocamlopt) for 9 processor architectures (IA32, PowerPC, AMD64,
Alpha, Sparc, Mips, IA64, HPPA, StrongArm), as well as a bytecode
compiler (ocamlc) and an interactive read-eval-print loop (ocaml)
for quick development and portability. The Objective Caml
distribution includes a comprehensive standard library, a replay
debugger (ocamldebug), lexer (ocamllex) and parser (ocamlyacc)
generators, a pre-processor pretty-printer (camlp4) and a
documentation generator (ocamldoc).
