Dear OCaml maintainers, My last contact with ML was about 30 years ago and, yes, there is a part in me that wants to dive back into it, but there are other things that I can also do that I can help Debian more with, I think. So, I come here to ask for help.
You may have heard of R and a (fairly) new kid on the block, Julia, and there is something in between that is also tantalizingly different such that all math environments have interfaces to it: stan (https://mc-stan.org). Now, I did not get too far with my attempt to get the command line compiled - the lines below sum this up: I need the ppx_jane package and not unlikely also others that I am not yet aware of. Is there someone out there on this list who would like to work on this? Many thanks!

Sigh. cmdstan needs stanc3 (to be packaged) which needs dune (available) which needs https://opam.ocaml.org/packages/ppx_jane/ppx_jane.v0.14.0/ (to be packaged). This is a bit beyond my routine. Do we have OCaml folks on this list?
I think it'd be best to ask in https://lists.debian.org/debian-ocaml-maint/ It looks doable, can give it a try but the dependency(and transitive) list is rather huuuge, admittedly Nilesh
