Something I've been thinking lately of doing is taking the scheme list and string libraries (http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-1/srfi-1.html and http://srfi.schemers.org/srfi-13/srfi-13.html) and writing ocaml versions of many of the functions described in them that are missing from the standard library. Some of the algorithms from the C++ STL would be useful too. -- Shawn Wagner shawnw@speakeasy.org ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
