Is there any tool that I can use to get the kind of incremental build like those from Eclipse/IntelliJ/Visual Studio?

Yes, it is called OCaml Merlin. It supports incremental type-checking, IntelliSense-like completion, and code navigation. It works with Emacs, Vim out of the box, and third party extensions provide support for Sublime and Visual Studio Code.

Merlin can be easily installed via the OPAM package manager:

opam install merlin

  • not sure if this answers the question. ocaml usually builds to one executable file which means incremental compilation might be a little tricky – Alexander Mills Feb 20 '19 at 21:05
  • @rakim, I'm not sure how to address it :) I'm not even sure what Alexander means. OCaml compilation unit to a separate artifact, but honestly if it wasn't it won't impede separate compilation. – ivg Nov 04 '19 at 13:29
