Ascánder Suárez is a Venezuelan computer scientist and programmer. He is best known for his role as a primary developer of the Caml language that ultimately led to the OCaml system. He is a Professor of software science at Simón Bolívar University (Venezuela).

Guy Cousineau recalls: “I must admit that when the Caml development started, my experience with programming language implementation was very limited. Relying on the LLM3 abstract machine and on the Le_Lisp memory allocation and garbage collection system saved a lot of work but could not lead to high efficiency. The CAM model led to fast closure construction and good environment sharing but was poor at environment access and made optimizations difficult. It also potentially introduced memory leaks, since useless values were kept inside closures. Also, I had not realized that it was more important to have good performance on non-functional programs than on very functional ones. Above all, I had overlooked the importance of portability and openness. In spite of these inadequacies, for which I am initially responsible, Ascander, Pierre and Michel did quite a nice piece of work.”[1] [2]
