Date: Fri, 7 May 2004 22:11:12 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200405072211.12238.jdh30@cam.ac.uk> (raw)


I was just wondering if there was a compiler which could convert ocaml code 
into self-contained, efficient C code which could then be sold? By efficient, 
I mean performance comparable to that of native-code compiled ocaml.

I am asking because I think that C code (even unreadable C) may currently be 
more commercially viable than ocaml code.

Cheers,
Jon.
