OCaml.org: Pages on Compilation Targets

Community

Hi all,

since we see people sometimes struggling to understand what targets OCaml can compile to (especially regarding WASM and how to get started compiling to WASM), we decided to make an attempt to give a guide directly on OCaml.org:

Looking for feedback here on:

  1. is this useful, as a broad overview to newcomers?
  2. is there more info we should list here, to enable people to get started and be productive with OCaml?
  3. are we covering all the relevant major stable and active tools?

Since this content is likely to rank high on search engines (thanks to OCaml.org’s backlink profile), the aim is to put a big-picture overview of what is there - for any details, we link to the specific project’s docs (this is in attempt to make the pages need less maintenance).

Thanks
Sabine

I have proposed the page of dune about the modes stanza, which permits to indicate the type of targets.

it would be interesting to add the more different specific pages of the dune manual.

And also

These pages may be helpful (indicating js_of_ocaml-ppx for example, what to install…)
