I was under the impression that the CLR as it's currently shipped could not do parametric polymorphism. [Xavier's post from last year listing what isn't supported is here: http://caml.inria.fr/archives/200102/msg00190.html] So, this work uses a runtime extension (there seem to be some dlls listed in the ppt on the site), or a workaround was found? In other words, if I write an F# applet, can I put it on a webpage like a java applet, or would the user need to download and install dlls to extend their runtime for it to work? Thanks, Chris PS. Why F#? The last thing we need are more symbolic characters in our language names! :) What was wrong with caml.net, just the compatibility issues? ------------------- 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
