  • ocaml-jupyter

    An OCaml kernel for Jupyter (IPython) notebook

  • Here's an ocaml kernel for jupyter notebooks: https://github.com/akabe/ocaml-jupyter. You could feasibly get this up and running on some jupyter platform online!

  • polygott

    Discontinued Base Docker image for the Repl.it evaluation server

  • Repl.it has an in-progress OCaml repl option sort of hidden away because it's "WIP"; and by WIP I mean it works for editing and saving is basically broken otherwise and has been for a few years (according to Sys.ocaml_version it's using OCaml 4.05 from 2017) because of a claim of focusing on core features instead of more languages. Though that didn't stop them from adding other languages since, including adding ReasonML (via NodeJS and BuckleScript) since then, so the argument is bullshit and they'll probably never get it working.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • learn-ocaml

    A Web Application for Learning OCaml

  • There is https://github.com/ocaml-sf/learn-ocaml

  • cloudmacs

    Selfhost your Emacs and access it in browser

  • Interesting side thought, there's also a Docker container for a browser-usable emacs that works by using gotty to render a tty (and the emacs running on it) in a webpage. So you could in theory have a container with both that and OCaml+opam, which would let you tuareg-mode, merlin, and the OCaml interactive mode within this browser-based emacs.

  • gotty

    Share your terminal as a web application

  • template-ocaml

    A template for OCaml, configured for Gitpod (www.gitpod.io) to give you pre-built, ephemeral development environments in the cloud.

  • 👋Geoff here from Gitpod. Created something special for the OCaml community moments ago - https://github.com/gitpod-io/template-ocaml. If you prefer nix then adjust https://github.com/gitpod-io/template-nix. Enjoy 🧡
