I'm currently thinking about the best way to write the equivalent of JavaFX for OCaml : both the user-interface and the "new features" (e.g. list comprehension, SQL-ish selections from data structures, etc.). The user-interface part doesn't look too difficult. I'll start to work on it... well, if I ever get time. Cheers, David
