I don't see any opportunity now. "Opportunity" is a relative thing. Selling Enron at $30 seemed dumb relative to $90, but it sure seems like a missed opportunity now. :) Similarly, Caml is still relatively small. I think it will get much bigger. This will seem like a missed opportunity in the future (assuming anybody actually wants to change the syntax in the future). >I don't think that you, users, must wait for us, the caml team, to >change the syntax.

Well, then that's that. ;) Chris ------------------- 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
