Speaking of which, are there any updates on the Windows si= tuation with regard to opam and Core? Specifically with regard to Core, I f= ind it odd that Ocaml's most popular (and well-written) book doesn'= t support the most popular OS in the world.

Hi all,

we are considering using OCaml for a rather large project, the bulk of
which will be networking and encryption. OCaml seems to meet our needs
with one exception:
we'd like to target windows (as well as linux & mac) and we got the=
impression that this would be complicated -- we gathered that neither
jane street's Core nor OPAM are windows compatible.

Would still recommend using OCaml? Are there workarounds, or other
libraries that would replace Core?

Here is the Windows installer:

http:= //protz.github.io/ocaml-installer/

This also installs 'ocamlfind', which means that you can download s= ource packages for libraries you're interested in, compile them, instal= l them and use them relatively easily. Not as convenient as OPAM, of course= .

Here is a library for cryptography:

https://forge.ocamlcore.org/projects/cryptokit/

Here is a library for concurrency which runs on Windows:

http://ocsigen.org/lw= t/

Here is a different Standard Library replacement/augmentation:

https://github.com/ocaml-batteries-team/batteries-<= /u>included

(The software I build for Windows, whilst complex in terms of what it does,= is just a single statically linked executable which reads a file, processe= s it and writes a file, so I can't tell you anything about networking u= nder Windows.)
