Core is an alternative to the OCaml standard library developed by Jane Street Capital. . Core does a number of things: . * provides tail recursive versions of non tail recursive functions in the standard library; * changes the signature of many of the standard modules to enforce consistent naming conventions; * includes generic serialization for most types; * adds some new modules as well as new functionality to existing modules. . Beware that Core extends some functionality of the legacy standard library, and outright changes or replaces other; backward compatibility with the legacy standard library has not to be expected. . The code of Core is routinely reviewed within Jane Street Capital according to their quality assurance requirements. The extra library called Core_extended adds new functionalities on top of Core, but is only reviewed on an ad-hoc basis. . This package contains the development stuff you need to use Core (but not Core_extended) in your programs.
