X-Sent-From: aborquez@altavista.com Sender: owner-caml-list@pauillac.inria.fr Precedence: bulk Hello Daniel, It seems that packaging OCaml + Camlp4 (synchronised versions) on a single distribution package source, was an issue pointed at the list. Camlp4 is a nice tool very close related to the language, and also revised syntax it seems me to be better than standard syntax (despite it's rather subjetive issue). I have ported some apps to revised syntax and some programmers that are learning the language (at my job) agreed that it's more easy to read (so to learn). It would be nice to have Camlp4 bundled and synchronised with all the future versions of OCaml. Is it possible?. Even more, I think that the syntax default model would be a choice of the user when builing the compilers. I don't want to start a 'syntax-war' it is only my personal taste, besides having such powerfull tool, alternative syntaxs could arise elsewhere ... who knows? (creativity never stops!)
