No, JoCaml is a modified OCaml system, besides parsing, typing is different and we added a pattern matching feature that must take place inside the compiler. > > Also, will there be compatibility with latest OCaml releases going > forward? We hope so, and this should be quite simple. At the moment JoCaml is a branch in OCaml cvs trunk. Synchronization at release time is quite easy. This enable compatibility at the source level almost for free. Compatibility at the binary level apparently works. > My understanding is that the previous Jocaml was based on > Ocaml 1.x.
