François Rouaix did a Palm port of Caml Light (the "lean and mean" ancestor of OCaml) a long time ago. The main problem was that the data segment of a Palm OS program had to fit in 64K, which is quite tight for Caml Light and definitely not enough for OCaml. (The remainder of the RAM was either read-only code blocks, or PalmOS "databases" that must be accessed through system calls.) I don't know if this limitation was lifted in later versions of PalmOS. Problem number 2 is that text-only apps aren't very usable on a handheld, so you'd need to interface a large chunk of the GUI toolkit. - Xavier Leroy ------------------- 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
