Dear OCaml enthusiasts,
25 years ago, on May 9th 1996, release 1.00 of the Objective Caml language
and system was announced:
https://sympa.inria.fr/sympa/arc/caml-list/1996-05/msg00003.html
It was already the consolidation of many years of work, integrating Jérôme
Vouillon and Didier Rémy's work on objects and classes within Caml Special
Light, itself a combination of my work on modules and native-code
compilation with earlier code taken from Caml Light, especially Damien
Doligez's GC.
Little did I know that O(bjective) Caml would still be there 25 years later!
A lot happened during this time, including several major evolutions of the
language, and, much more importantly, the emergence of a community of users
and an ecosystem of tools and libraries. But maybe this was just the
beginning for something even bigger? We'll see...
Happy birthday, OCaml!
- Xavier Leroy
