Now, when Camlp4 is included in the standard distribution it is much easier to try Camlp4 syntax. I think more people will make more people try the new syntax. I am using Markus Mottl's Ocamlmakefile, and having some files in the new syntax and some in the old in the same project is very easy and doesn't require any tweaking in the Makefile. So, I think we should encourage people to try the Camlp4-syntax and let people have their comments. If people comment into this mailing list, more people will look into it and maybe have their own opinion. Personally, I haven't written any own code using the revised syntax. However, some of my source files are in the revised syntax. I agree that the current syntax is error-prone and should be changed. Emacs solves most of the problems, but not if " (or is it \") occurs. /mattias ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
