One question: knowing that -you know and work with OCaml, -you have used it for CLR linked stuff, -OCaml is written in OCaml, -You want to create an OCaml compatible compiler, or a .NET CLR backend, whatever you want to call it, I would intuitively think that it would be easiest and MUCH less work to use some existing compiler code, et least for the parsing and typing, no ? Or did I miss something ?
