A few of the OCaml projects are showing up under Standard ML [1]. A little disappointing since anyone using OCaml would really benefit from finding out about Merlin (see the link).

This is due to a recent issue (or regression) with how GitHub's Linguist disambiguates code, which I hope will be fixed soon [2].

At the moment we lean completely on linguist for language detection, which isn't perfect but gets us a good amount of the way there.

Once we've got OPAM support more OCaml libraries will start to show up.
