Des nouvelles de la part de l'équipe compilateur d'OCamlPro

Nous sommes heureux de présenter certains travaux en cours sur le compilateur OCaml, travaux menés en étroite collaboration avec notre partenaire et client Janestreet.

Un travail conséquent a été fait pour aboutir à un nouveau framework d’optimisation du compilateur, appelé Flambda2, dont nous espérons qu’il corrigera certains défauts apparus dans Flambda. En parallèle, l’équipe a mené à bien certaines améliorations immédiates sur Flambda, ainsi que des modifications du compilateur qui seront utiles pour Flambda2.

About OCamlPro:

OCamlPro is a R&D lab founded in 2011, with the mission to help industrial users benefit from experts with a state-of-the-art knowledge of programming languages theory and practice.

  • We provide audit, support, custom developer tools and training for both the most modern languages, such as Rust, Wasm and OCaml, and for legacy languages, such as COBOL or even home-made domain-specific languages;
  • We design, create and implement software with great added-value for our clients. High complexity is not a problem for our PhD-level experts. For example, we helped the French Income Tax Administration re-adapt and improve their internally kept M language, we designed a DSL to model and express revenue streams in the Cinema Industry, codename Niagara, and we also developed the prototype of the Tezos proof-of-stake blockchain from 2014 to 2018.
  • We have a long history of creating open-source projects, such as the Opam package manager, the LearnOCaml web platform, and contributing to other ones, such as the Flambda optimizing compiler, or the GnuCOBOL compiler.
  • We are also experts of Formal Methods, developing tools such as our SMT Solver Alt-Ergo (check our Alt-Ergo Users' Club) and using them to prove safety or security properties of programs.

Please reach out, we'll be delighted to discuss your challenges: contact@ocamlpro.com or book a quick discussion.
