The DkML distribution is an open-source set of software that supports
software development in pure OCaml. DkML's strengths are its:
✓ full compatibility with OCaml standards like Opam, Dune and ocamlfind
✓ laser focus on "native" development (desktop software, mobile apps and
embedded software) through support for the standard native compilers like
Visual Studio and Xcode
✓ ease-of-use through simplified installers and simple productivity commands;
high school students should be able to use it
✓ security through reproducibility, versioning and from-source builds
There are two categories of programs installed by this DkML package:
1. "Immediate" programs that manipulate OCaml bytecode or source code:
* `utop`, `ocamlc`, `ocaml`, `ocamlrun`, `ocamlformat`, `ocamllsp`, `ocamllex`,
`dkml` and `with-dkml`
2. "Shim" programs that manipulate OCaml native code:
* `opam`
