The ability to pass values with polymorphic types around. This is mostly useful for objects, and lets you write type safe visitor patterns for instance. > Another question do we really need MSVC 6.0 or is Jacob's Navia's win32 lcc > also a good alternative. If you're happy with bytecode, you don't need any of these. You can actually compile and link applications without a C compiler. By the way, I've heard that a non-optimizing version of MSVC is available for free in the .NET sdk. This may do if you really need to do some custom linking or use native code. > Can Olabl be used with windows? O'Labl is now dead. All of its features (and more) have been included in O'Caml.
