This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/ProgrammingLanguages

Our great sponsors
  • SonarLint - Clean code begins in your IDE with SonarLint
  • Mergify - Updating dependencies is time-consuming.
  • InfluxDB - Collect and Analyze Billions of Data Points in Real Time
  • ocaml

    The core OCaml system: compilers, runtime system, base libraries

    That does sound problematic, but without the code it is hard to tell what is the issue. Typically, compiling a 6kLoc file like https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/blob/trunk/typing/typecore.ml takes 0.8 s on my machine.

  • fragnix

    Fragment-based code distribution!

    A long time ago I experimented with fragment-based code distribution. The idea is that the unit of distribution should be individual functions and not packages. The Unison language does this in practice.

  • SonarLint

    Clean code begins in your IDE with SonarLint. Up your coding game and discover issues early. SonarLint is a free plugin that helps you find & fix bugs and security issues from the moment you start writing code. Install from your favorite IDE marketplace today.

  • cmarkit

    CommonMark parser and renderer for OCaml

    omd pulls quite a lot of things, probably more than it should, due to its use of ppx_expect that pulls a lot of the Jane Street ecosystem (which is just fine if you are otherwise using core, but could feel bloated otherwise); now that it exists, cmarkit is probably a better choice for Markdown parsing. (It is more lightweight dependency-wise and probably better designed.)

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
