I find that a strange comment. I know C++ pretty well, but I only use a subset of it. Indeed, I claim that this is _because_ I know it so well. Preferably, the empty subset :-) I use a subset of Ocaml for a different reason: the subset seems adequate for what I need, and I don't understand some of the higher level constructions well enough to rely on them. In this case, I'd love to learn more .. which is why I read this list :-) -- John (Max) Skaller, mailto:skaller@maxtal.com.au 10/1 Toxteth Rd Glebe NSW 2037 Australia voice: 61-2-9660-0850 checkout Vyper http://Vyper.sourceforge.net download Interscript http://Interscript.sourceforge.net ------------------- Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr
