utop
An enhanced OCaml REPL with line editing, context-sensitive completion, syntax highlighting, and Emacs integration.
What is utop?
utop is a universal toplevel (REPL) for OCaml that provides a modern, feature-rich interactive environment for OCaml development. It improves upon the standard OCaml toplevel with advanced editing capabilities, better user experience, and seamless integration with popular editors.
OCaml developers seeking an enhanced interactive development environment, particularly those using editors like Emacs or vi, and those working with asynchronous libraries like Lwt or Async.
Developers choose utop over the standard OCaml toplevel for its context-sensitive completion, syntax highlighting, automatic evaluation of asynchronous code, and deep integration with the OCaml compiler and editor ecosystems.
