How so?

Why do you assume that I wrote my own OpenGL bindings? I used the pre-existing LablGL bindings that were not only the defacto-standard for OCaml+OpenGL at the time (i.e. OCaml's most widely tested OpenGL bindings) but had been written by Jacques Garrigue, one of the authors of OCaml itself.

Why do "buggy drivers" affect 80% of our users when we write our software in 100% OCaml and 0% of our customers when we write our software in 100% F#?

So the stuff all around OCaml that we used only because we were using OCaml was to blame and not OCaml itself?
Cheers,
Jon.
