Here  is another using  streams (thus  you need  to compile  with "-pp
camlp4o"). It's  a nice example to  learn about streams,  though it is
not that efficient.

let rec filter p = parser
  [< 'n; s >] -> if p n then [< 'n; filter p s >] else [< filter p s >]

let naturals = let rec gen n = [< 'n; gen (succ n) >] in gen 2

let primes =
  let rec sieve = parser
    [< 'n; s >] -> [< 'n; sieve (filter (fun m -> m mod n <> 0) s) >]
  in
  sieve naturals

let _ = 
  while true do
    Printf.printf "%d\n" (Stream.next primes); flush stdout;
  done
