Such a book could explain the utility of OCaml in overall terms (for managers and investors) as well as detailing the benefits, costs and various ways of adopting OCaml in industrial projects. I'd like to hear from anyone who thinks their company might buy such a management report (for around 800UKP) and anyone who can provide information about case studies of OCaml having been used in industry. -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd.
