OCaml IDE

Looking for an IDE for OCaml on Mac.
(Obviously, I was not the first, see, e.g., here).

• Emacs (Aquaemacs)
  • Download Tuareg
  • Config Aquaemacs (see)
    1. place both tuareg.el and camldebug.el somewhere in
~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/
    2. Add to ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/Preferences.el (from append-tuareg.el): (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.ml\\w?" . tuareg-mode) auto-mode-alist))
    3. (autoload 'tuareg-mode "tuareg" "Major mode for editing Caml code" t)
    4. (autoload 'camldebug "camldebug" "Run the Caml debugger" t)

    5. Append custom-tuaerg.el at the end of (the modified)
    6. ~/Library/Preferences/Aquamacs Emacs/Preferences.el
• Camelia (for students going from scheme to ocaml)
• Eclispe (a few plugins)
