A 'Melange' of Tooling Coming Together - Antonio Monteiro - FUN OCaml 2024

Antonio Monteiro's FUN OCaml 2024 talk recording! Overview by Antonio: Melange is a new compiler for OCaml targeting JavaScript. Melange codebases integrate with the OCaml Platform: install from OPAM, build with Dune, preprocess with `ppxlib`, format with OCamlformat and publish with `dune-release`. Merlin, OCaml-LSP and `odoc` work out of the box. In this talk, I will tell you about the Melange success story and give a glimpse of what's coming in the near future.
