Which opportunity? I don't see any opportunity now. It has always been too late: it was too late 8 years ago when Zinc was created, which was supposed to be "Zinc Is Not Caml" in the beginning... but Zinc became "Caml" Light, because of a lot of reasons, the same reasons that people continue to use now: it is not standard, it is complicated because of teaching... The same reasons continue and I don't see any specific opportunity now. I don't think that you, users, must wait for us, the caml team, to change the syntax. The standard syntax will never change in our side, you can be sure of that. -- Daniel de RAUGLAUDRE daniel.de_rauglaudre@inria.fr http://cristal.inria.fr/~ddr/ ------------------- 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
