OCaml's Powerhouse Ecosystem: Dune & Essential Libraries

This article showcases key components of the robust OCaml ecosystem. Dune (formerly Jbuilder) is a composable build system; Base replaces OCaml's standard library for improved performance and portability; Core extends Base with enhanced functionality; Async enables asynchronous programming; Bonsai builds declarative, incremental state machines; Incremental facilitates self-adjusting computations; Base_quickcheck provides randomized, property-based testing; and Patdiff is a diff tool optimized for code and config files. Together, these libraries form a powerful foundation for OCaml development, boosting efficiency and code quality.
