As far as I know, in Ocaml it's possible to write own Monads-Libraries and relatively easy. But it is not part of the OCaml-distribution to have such a library. Why not adding a Monads-library to the standard distribution of Ocaml? Wouldn't this a thing that the Ocaml-Core-developpers and the INRIA would think of that it is a good thing?! IMHO this would be nice for Haskell-used people (so to easier switch to Ocaml) as well as it would be nice for Ocaml-users to dive into this kind of functional I/O. Regards, Oliver Bandel
