- Jane Street has developed OxCaml, a set of extensions to OCaml aimed at performance engineering.
- OxCaml's design goals include providing safe, convenient, and predictable control over performance-critical aspects of programming.
- Extensions focus on fearless concurrency, memory layout, allocation control, and quality-of-life improvements.
- OxCaml is open-source and experimental, with no stability guarantees but aims for easy use with modified OCaml tools.
- Jane Street releases libraries in two forms: one for upstream OCaml and one leveraging OxCaml's extensions.
