I thank all users of Ocaml who contribute to Ocaml's success by enhancing the language, reporting bugs etc. I wrote the posting to show an example of a commercial application written in Ocaml, and maybe make other users to try the same. I also wrote down a few things that, if fixed, might attract more commercial developers who like me write shring-wrap-software. Commercial developers are good for the Ocaml community, since if successful, they can contribute money to the development of Ocaml. It will also be easier for Inria to get EU-research grants, if they can show commercial benefits of modern programming languages. Also, there might even be Ocaml-programmers jobs out there. -- Mattias ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
