My typical OCaml development workflow starts with git clone ..., then opam switch create . 5.4.1 --deps-only followed by dune build. This creates a local _opam directory containing the compiler and all dependencies. It works well, but the _opam directories add up, and the build takes time.
How an academic paper about build systems helped us rethink Terraform automation and build a better execution engine.
Migrating an OxCaml project to build with Dune pkg.
Alice is my toy OCaml build system project where I ask “What if Cargo but for OCaml?”. My main priority when designing Alice is accessibility but perhaps a more suitable term would be inclusivity as my goal is for the tool to be usable by as many people as possible.
Alice is an experimental OCaml build system emphasizing accessibility. It’s still very much a work in progress and nowhere near ready for regular use. Currently it can build multi-file OCaml projects to executables and libraries. Its UI is inspired by cargo. I’m one of the core Dune developers for my day job.
Welcome to all Camleers We are back with another practical walkthrough for the newcomers of the OCaml ecosystem. We understand from the feedback we have gathered over the years that getting started with the OCaml Distribution can sometimes be perceived as challenging at first. That's why we keep it ...

Explanation of our learnings from attempting to build all Dune packages in opam-repository using Dune package management.
