Show HN: Riot, a modern multicore actor-based ecosystem for OCaml

Category: devtools

Tags: ocaml, actor-model, build-system

Score: 7.5/10 (Innovation: 8, Technical: 8, Documentation: 7, Utility: 7)

Riot is an opinionated, all-in-one OCaml stack that bundles a package-aware build system, actor-model runtime, fuzzing, benchmarking, and agent-friendly tooling into a single command. Its innovative combination of a modern package registry with prebuilt toolchains, a zero-config formatter, and structured JSON output for AI agents makes it a fresh take on OCaml development, though its niche appeal limits broader adoption.
