A playground for OxCaml

(Disclaimer: currently in alpha)

To make a playground, press the green "Code" button, then select "+" next to "Codespaces". A new Codespace will open. It currently takes maybe 20 or 30 minutes to initialize; please be patient. We'll work on improving this startup time shortly. You can click the link in the status popup in the bottom-right of the window to see current progress (although there are no spinners).

Once initialized you should have a full OPAM environment with the OxCaml compiler and dune on the path. VSCode will have the OCaml Platform plugin together with the LSP server and merlin, the editor assistant.

Building your first OxCaml project

$ cd parallel-example/filter
$ dune build filter.exe
$ ../_build/default/filter/filter.exe
$ mogrify -format jpg filtered-ox.pgm

Then you can open filtered-ox.pgm directly from the sidebar on the left (expand the parallel-example directory in the tree view). Behold the filtered ox.
