They developed a people search engine that lets you find people in the we= b (it is online, check it out), and a substantial part of it is written in OCaml. Although Wink is still tiny in comparison with its competitors thi= s is nevertheless an important investment into into our beloved language. As a commitment to OCaml Wink releases two libraries as open source: "Files" is a batch-oriented persistent key/value container, and "Netdns" is a DNS stub resolver that is capable of doing asynchronous name resolutions. You find these libraries at http://oss.wink.com. Please note that the packing is not yet optimal, and more polishing will be done soon= . But the best is: there is really exciting stuff in the queue of the to be released code, especially for distributed computing.
