Re: [Caml-list] new emacs tuareg mode release

[Tom Hutchinson]

I would be most interested to hear answers to this e-mail.

I too have wondered about the differences between tuareg mode and caml mode.

I noticed that key bindings are different and formatting is handled a little 
differently. I have never seen a good comparison between the two though. Or why 
tuareg-mode exists at all (instead of improving caml mode).

Another thing is that in the tuareg mode documentation, there is no mention 
that you need to install files from caml mode. It seems like C-c C-t (type 
throwback) only works after installing caml-types.el from caml mode. What other 
files from caml mode need to be installed?

I'm glad to see ocamlspot.el is included now.

Thanks

Tom

 I have long used the emacs tuareg mode (simply because when I asked
 advice someone told me that it was better than the standard caml
 mode), and have recently wondered if that choice was motivated by
 rational reasons. When I looked at it, I discovered that the original
 caml mode has overall the same set of features (with some of them
 coming earlier due to it being maintained by the OCaml team), was
 reasonably well documented and was split in multiple source files
 instead of one monolithic .el for tuareg-mode. I switched to the
 standard caml-mode. The indentation, coloring and shorctuts are a bit
 different, but otherwise I don't see what motivated the better tuareg
 reputation.
 
 Are you planning to add new features that would make tuareg decisively
 better ? Have I missed some existing killer feature ? Why did you
 choose to maintain the tuareg mode instead of collaborating with the
 caml-mode upstream ?

Re: [Caml-list] Hoogle for Ocaml

[Tom Hutchinson]

This might be what you're looking for:

http://docs.camlcity.org/docs/index.html

You can search through the files in all of the GODI packages. It's not  
just function names and type signatures so you might get more results  
than you want.

Hi,

Is there an equivalent to Haskell's Hoogle for Ocaml?

Re: [Caml-list] Why don't you use batteries?

8) Other (please explain)

It's not part of the standard distribution.

Using it in an open source project adds a lot of dependencies. I  
understand that the Batteries team doesn't decide what gets included  
in OCaml. Still, many projects are very hesitant to add extra  
dependencies (even if batteries was entirely self-contained).


I imagine there are a fair number of people who take parts bits and  
pieces out of the batteries sources and use those in their projects.
