I think that with a bit more work, porting the Ocaml native compiler

which to write native applications will, perhaps, give more people a
viable reason to explore the system. Ocaml's compiler generates
high-quality, reasonably fast code and a native port effort would be
much less than the one for a similar Haskell compiler.

Just a thought.
