language: Caml

`Language:`	Caml
`Package:`	CAML
`Version:`	3.1
`Parts:`	compiler, interactive development environment
`Author:`	Ascander Suarez, Pierre Weis, Michel Mauny, others (INRIA)
`Location:`	ftp://ftp.inria.fr/lang/caml/
`Description:`	Caml is a programming language from the ML/Standard ML family, with functions as first-class values, static type inference with polymorphic types, user-defined variant and product types, and pattern-matching. The CAML V3.1 implementation adds lazy and mutable data structures, a "grammar" mechanism for interfacing with the Yacc parser generator, pretty-printing tools, high-performance arbitrary-precision arithmetic, and a complete library.

`Description:`	Caml is a programming language from the ML/Standard ML family, with functions as first-class values, static type inference with polymorphic types, user-defined variant and product types, and pattern-matching. The Caml Light implementation adds a Modula-2-like module system, separate compilation, lazy streams for parsing and printing, graphics primitives, and an interface with C.
