Original: Quantitative Finance with OCaml

A project called qCaml is presenting OCaml, a functional programming language better known in academia and compiler circles, as a tool for quantitative finance. It argues the language's strong typing and performance make it well suited for pricing and risk work traditionally dominated by C++, Python and Java.
