I mean, people get lazier and lazier each day (hissin things like "Java,C++,PHP" between two beers like good sofa potatoes.. :-) ) so they need a short ad-ictive funny name...I personnally think you should organize a great contest for the best play on words with ML in it (like RiML, puML, and many more goodies). ------------------- 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
