Abstract

Since helping with the OxCaml tutorial last year at ICFP, I've been chomping at the bit to use it for real in our research infrastructure for planetary computing to manage the petabytes of TESSERA embeddings we've been generating. The reason for my eagerness is that OxCaml has a number of language extensions that give giant leaps in performance for systems-oriented programs, while retaining the familiar OCaml functional style of programming.
