Merlin is an editor service providing modern IDE features such as context-sensitive completion, type inference display, navigation, and refactoring for OCaml. It ships with out-of-the-box support for Vim and Emacs, and powers OCaml LSP for other editors like VS Code.
Use cases
- get autocomplete for OCaml code in Vim
- show inferred types of OCaml expressions in Emacs
- jump to definition of OCaml functions in my editor
- set up an IDE experience for OCaml development
- refactor and navigate OCaml projects
- use OCaml language features in VS Code via LSP
When to choose
- you write OCaml and use Vim or Emacs
- you want an OCaml language server backend for editors like VS Code
- you need completion, typing, and navigation for OCaml without a full IDE
When to avoid
- you work in languages other than OCaml
- you want a standalone IDE rather than an editor integration
- you use an editor with no Merlin frontend or LSP support
