BoF: Metaprogramming for OCaml

Room 1

Topic: Get together some of the many people who are thinking about meta-programming in OCaml. There are a bunch of different approaches at present:

• camlp4, proponents including Nicolas Pouillard and Jake Donham
• BER Metocaml, by Oleg, Jacques Carette and Walid Taha
• An unnamed idea of having the toolchain keep track of annotations, that could be used by post-processing tools that directly manipulate the OCaml AST, proponents including Alain Frisch.

Confirmed attendees: Till Varoquaux, Anil Madhavapeddy, Yaron Minsky, Chung-chieh Shan, Oleg, Nicolas Pouillard, Thomas Gazagnaire, Sylvain Le Gall, Jacques Carette, Ashish Agarwal
