Hi

I installed the Haskell Platform because there was a binary for win32, and didn't installed Ocaml Batteries for the same reason: "You may download the source tarball from the Forge [1], read the on-line API documentation [2] or the extended release notes [3]."

Cheers,
Hugo

I am not sure my answer is relevant, but here it is :

The ratio
(time needed to install&learn&use it) / (time saved)
has to be interesting (close to zero).

For me, at the moment, this ratio is close to infinite.

However, I do hope to use it someday.

Cheers,

Philippe
