Ocaml-solidity, a new OCaml library for Solidity

Continuing the thread from last week, Fabrice Le Fessant announced
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
I should add that the project is now available in the opam-repository,
see [solidity-parser] and [solidity-typechecker].

I have just released [ocaml-pandoc], a native OCaml library to write
filters for [pandoc], which is a markdown-to-anything converter. It
has allowed me to write some simple filters I needed (such as for
including code snippets, which is not supported natively).
The support is not complete yet however, I might add more if needed
(and pull-requests are of course accepted :slight_smile:).

You want to compare the main core functions found in the OCaml Stdlib
(v4.12.0), Containers (v3.3), Batteries (v3.3.0) and Base (v0.14.1)
libraries ?
Check it out !

Someone reading this might be also interested in my (less formal)
comparison between OCaml Stdlib and Base:

[Comby] may also be of interest, it's a similar project also written
in OCaml.
