OCamlPro started working on blockchains in 2014, when Arthur Breitman came to us with an initial idea to develop the Tezos ledger. The idea was very challenging with a lot of innovations. So, we collaborated with him to write a specification, and to turn the specification into OCaml code. Since then, we continually improved our skills[…]
After the hard work done on the integration of floating-point arithmetic reasoning two years ago, 2018 is the year of polymorphic SMT2 support and efficient SAT solving for Alt-Ergo. In this post, we recap the main novelties last year, and we announce the first Alt-Ergo Users’ Club meeting. An SMT2 front-end with prenex polymorphism As[…]
Tezos Foundation and OCamlPro joint press release – October 17, 2018 We are pleased to announce that the Tezos Foundation has issued a grant to OCamlPro to support its work on TzScan, a block explorer for the Tezos blockchain that will be made open-source. OCamlPro is a French company and R&D lab, focused on OCaml[…]
Since 2017 is just over, now is probably the best time to review what happened during this hectic year at OCamlPro… Here are our big 2017 achievements, in the world of blockchains (the Liquidity smart contract language, Tezos and the Tezos ICO, etc.), of OCaml (with OPAM 2, flambda 2 etc.), and of formal methods[…]
Here is a short report on some of our public activities in May and June 2014. Towards OPAM 1.2 After a lot of discussions and work on OPAM itself, we are now getting to a clear workflow for OCaml developpers and packagers: the preliminary document for OPAM 1.2 is available here. The idea is that[…]
Here is a short report on some of our activities in April 2014, and a short analysis of OCaml evolution since its first release. OPAM Improvements We’re still working on release 1.2. It was decided to include quite a few new features in this release, which delayed it a little bit since we want to[…]
Here is a short report of some of our activities in March 2014 ! Welcome Thomas First, we would like to welcome Thomas Blanc on board ! Thomas is starting a PhD at OCamlPro, with Michel Mauny from ENSTA as his PhD advisor. So, he will stay with us for three years, working on static[…]
Here is a short report of some of our activities in February 2014 ! Displaying what OPAM is doing After releasing version 1.1.1, we have been very busy preparing the next big things for OPAM. We have also steadily been improving stability and usability, with a focus on friendly messages: for example, there is a[…]
Here is a short report of some of our activities in last December and January ! A New Intel Backend for ocamlopt With the support of LexiFi, we started working on a new Intel backend for the ocamlopt native code compiler. Currently, there are four Intel backends in ocamlopt: amd64/emit.mlp, amd64/emit_nt.mlp, i386/emit.mlp and i386/emit_nt.mlp, i.e.[…]
New Team Members We are pleased to welcome three new members in our OCamlPro team since the beginning of November: Benjamin Canou started working at OCamlPro on the Richelieu project, an effort to bring better safety and performance to the Scilab language. He is in charge of a type inference algorithm that will serve both[…]
Here is a short report of our activities in September-October 2013. OCamlPro at OCaml’2013 in Boston We were very happy to participate to OCaml’2013, in Boston. The event was a great success, with a lot of interesting talks and many participants. It was a nice opportunity for us to present some of our recent work:[…]
Here is a short report on the different projects we have been working on in August. News from OCamlPro Compiler Optimizations After our reports on better inlining have raised big expectations, we have been working hard on fixing the few remaining bugs. An enhanced alias/constant analysis was added, to provide the information needed to lift[…]
Once again, here is the summary of our activities for last month. The highlight this month is the release of ocaml-top, an interactive editor for education which works well under Windows and that we hope professors all around the world will use to teach OCaml to their students. We are also continuying our work on[…]
It is time to give a brief summary of our recent activities. As usual, our contributions were focused on three main objectives: (i) make the OCaml compiler faster and easier to use; (ii) make the OCaml developers more efficient by releasing new development tools and improving editor supports; and (iii) organize and participate to community[…]
This post aims at summarizing the activities of OCamlPro for the past month. As usual, we worked in three main areas: the OCaml toolchain, development tools for OCaml and R&D projects. The toolchain Our multi-runtime implementation of OCaml had gained stability. Luca fixed a lot of low-level bugs in the “master” branch of his OCaml[…]
From the early days of OCamlPro, people have been curious about our plans; they were asking how we worked at OCamlPro and what we were doing exactly. Now that we have started releasing projects more regularly, these questions come again. They are very reasonable questions, and have resolved to be more public and communicate more[…]
