An O(x)Caml book that runs
Summary
This article introduces a new interactive OCaml course for the NPTEL MOOC platform. The course runs entirely in the browser, with no install and no server-side dependency, and it combines prose, slides, runnable code cells, quizzes, and even a full Linux machine in one website. The author explains the technical stack behind the experience, including x-ocaml, Merlin in a Web Worker, js_of_ocaml, and v86. The piece also describes the content pipeline, automated checks, and the use of an LLM to help draft and refine the teaching material. It closes by noting that the course is open for enrollment and still evolving.
