Yes, it has a very 2006-era "OCaml as an alternative to C/C++" attitude, hence the claims that OCaml has an extensive library ecosystem and developer tooling: compared to C this is true but not compared to Python/Java in 2020. The suggested tools are also out of date. If you want to try OCaml nowadays you should probably install it with opam and use dune as a build system.
