Migrate from ulex to sedlex #196

Open XVilka opened 5 years ago

XVilka commented 5 years ago

Long story short - ulex is dying, mainstream depends on the camlp4, which is dead, fork depends on the camlp5, which seems dead too. This prevents from porting to more modern OCaml versions and dependencies versions.

See these links for more information:

Sedlex is an active maintained project by OCaml community: https://github.com/ocaml-community/sedlex

Thanks for reporting. Opa is not actively maintained currently but maybe some new or previous contributors might want to have a look at that and globally compiling Opa with the modern OCaml stack.
