Of course, It doesn't need them for "academical" language. The obvious thing to do is for people to, if they write stuff (Be it big modules or small little utility functions) that would be useful to the general population of ocaml users, is release that code so we get those small libraries. Then the hard part: Advertising them and getting people to use them. Something I'm thinking of doing after I finish getting some much-delayed updates to a couple of the libraries I maintain out the door: A general-purpose config file library; the sort of thing that'd be useful for most non-trivial applications that, as far as I'm aware, doesn't exit for ocaml yet. -- 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
