+Objective Caml is the latest implementation of the Caml dialect of ML. The main
+novelties compared with its ancestor, Caml Light, are:
+
+ * Full support for objects and classes -- here combined for the first time
+ with ML-style type reconstruction.
+ * A powerful module calculus in the style of Standard ML (but retaining
+ separate compilation).
+ * A high-performance native code compiler (in addition to a Caml
+ Light-style bytecode compiler).
