OCaml: "The programming tool of choice for discriminating
hackers" (www.ocaml.org)
Objective Caml is an object-oriented extension of Caml, Categorical Abstract Machine Language, which itself is a successor to ML (Meta Language). See Wired's Computer Language Family Tree for more details. Development on OCaml began in 1996 by a team under the leadership of Xavier Leroy at French parastatal INRIA (Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et en Automatique)'s Rocquefort research center, under projet Cristal. Their stated interests are the theory and application of strongly-typed, functional, object-oriented languages.
