Caml Light is a lightweight and portable implementation of the Caml programming language, a dialect of the ML programming language family. It is implemented in C and compiles programs to bytecode.
Caml Light is not actively developed, having been replaced by much more "heavyweight" Objective Caml.
Caml Light's flavour of ML is quite close to Standard ML, the only major difference being the module system. The differences became much more pronounced after Caml Light evolved to Objective Caml.
