JoCaml[1][2] is an experimental general-purpose, high-level, multi-paradigm, functional and object-oriented programming language derived from OCaml.
It integrates the primitives of the join-calculus to enable flexible, type-checked concurrent and distributed programming.
The current version of JoCaml is a re-implementation of the now unmaintained JoCaml[3] made by Fabrice Le Fessant, featuring a modified syntax and improved OCaml compatibility compared to the original.
JoCaml was used by team Camls 'R Us to implement a distributed ray tracer,[4] earning 2nd place on the ICFP 2000 programming contest.
The name is a reference to Joe Camel, a cartoon camel used in advertisements for Camel-brand cigarettes.
