I am trying to write a module that sits in between the file system and a hard disk device driver. The code would interpret the calls from the file system and relay calls back to the hard disk device driver. Essentially the code would be a layer over the hard disk device driver. Is this possible using OCaml? What are the trade offs of using ocaml versus c. I would appreciate any advice or help.
