    It may be of interest to some that Bloomberg has an ocaml based DSL built in for pricing exotic derivatives.

      OCaml is visible in a lot of technology used daily by many engineers at Bloomberg.

        Right but it&#x27;s also exposed (I&#x27;m not sure if it&#x27;s actually pure ocaml but it is presumably a form of it) to users

      Where can I find it in the terminal? Sounds like a fun thing to play with...
