I've seen a ton of great improvements in tooling/ecosystem.

- OPAM was already mentioned.

- The OCaml to JS compiler has matured and gained a lot of use. Interestingly, I suspect that it can also be used to achieve different types of parallelism than the types that the stock OCaml compilers provide. https://github.com/ocsigen/js_of_ocaml

- Merlin is also a fantastic autocompletion plugin for Vim/Emacs. https://github.com/the-lambda-church/merlin

VimBox (shameless plug) uses Merlin and is configured to provide "intellisense" style completion (as you type) like Visual Studio. https://github.com/jordwalke/VimBox

- utop is perhaps the best top level REPL that I've ever seen. https://github.com/diml/utop (edit: Regarding utop: Normally I dread using a REPL for a statically typed language, but utop actually makes the top level fun and interactive. I actually look forward to using it!)
