OCaml Cross Compilation: An Experiment (chrisarmstrong.dev)
I've recently become interested in cross-compiling OCaml code for other platforms. It's always been a bit tricky with OCaml, and the existing ecosystem of cross-compilation is patchy and complex, and usually engineered to specific targets, such as mobile development1, building software for windows2, or embedded system use cases3. Each effort seems to be different, with everyone attempting to solve the same problems.

What the hell is a target triple? (mcyoung.xyz)
Cross-compiling is taking a computer program and compiling it for a machine that isn’t the one hosting the compilation. Although historically compilers would only compile for the host machine, this is considered an anachronism: all serious native compilers are now cross-compilers.

There are multiple ways to cross-compile Swift on different platforms. I explored a few methods while building a Discord bot and a Bluesky bot.
