INRIA does both theoretical and applied research in computer science. In the process, it has produced many widely used programs. Indeed, it has designed CaML, a language from the ML family, and developed both the Caml Light and OCaml implementations. It has also developed Bigloo, a Scheme implementation, SmartEiffel, a free Eiffel compiler, Scilab, a numerical computation software package similar to MATLAB,and Esterel a programming language for State Automata.
