+ Caml is a general-purpose programming language, designed with program safety
+ and reliability in mind. It is very expressive, yet easy to learn and use. Caml
+ supports functional, imperative, and object-oriented programming styles.
+
+Some features are:
+ - A powerful type system, with parametric polymorphism and type inference.
+ - User-definable algebraic data types and pattern matching. 
+ - Automatic memory management: fast, unobtrusive, incremental GC.
+ - A sophisticated module system.
+ - Expressive OO layer; multiple inheritance and parametric classes.
+ - Efficient native code compilers."
