Caml is a functional programming language created by Xavier Leroy, Jérôme Vouillon, Damien Doligez, Didier Rémy, and Pierre Weis in 1996. Caml is a dialect of ML and has many features in common with ML, such as an expressive type system, type inference, garbage collection, and exception handling.
Caml is an imperative programming language with an object-oriented layer. It is also possible to write programs in a purely functional style.
Caml's type system allows for a rich set of type annotations, including type inference, which means that the programmer does not need to explicitly annotate the types of variables and functions. This allows for a more concise and readable code.
Caml also has a rich set of libraries and tools, which makes it a very attractive platform for development.
