ML engineer ports HTML5 parser to OCaml using LLMs, enhancing type safety

An engineer has successfully ported a complete HTML5 parser and browser test suite from Python to OCaml using LLMs. The process involved instructing an AI agent to avoid external libraries and build a test suite for validation, mirroring a previous successful port of a YAML parser. The resulting OCaml library now passes all HTML5 tests, demonstrating the potential for LLMs in complex code translation and the benefits of OCaml's type system for understanding specifications. AI
