Compiling OCaml to the TI-84 CE Calculator

a year ago

Compiling OCaml to run on a TI-84+ CE calculator using a new C backend.
OCaml lacks native support for calculator toolchains, unlike C, C++, Rust, and Zig.
Js_of_ocaml is used to emit C instead of JavaScript, leveraging its optimizations and build system support.
A garbage collector is implemented by using a global stack to track live objects.
The runtime includes minimal standard library functions and TI-84+ CE-specific features.
The project supports a subset of OCaml features, excluding floats and exceptions.
Future goals include expanding compatibility and using the project with 'wee' for broader portability.
