Dear OCaml and CDuce users,
I've created a new mailing list to host announces and discussions about
OCamlDuce, the extension of OCaml with support for XML. Feel free to
join (and participate) if you are interested in the project:

Was it really necessary? There is not so much traffic on CDuce list
(for both CDuce and OCamlDuce).
> - OCamlDuce homepage:
> http://www.cduce.org/ocaml
Do you intend to maintain OCamlDuce in the long term, in parallel with CDuce?
I still not have tested it but for our use of CDuce (read and write of
XML files), ocamlduce might simplify our code, so we could switch from
cduce to ocamlduce. Of course, in adds specific dependencies so we
(the demexp project) need to be careful about making such a switch
(Thomas is on this list and might have some comments ;-).
Yours,
d.

I had the feeling to spam CDuce users with OCamlDuce-related news.
Since the issues are different for CDuce and OCamlDuce, a more
fine-grained decomposition cannot harm. Also, it gives me an idea of the
popularity of OCamlDuce (which is an incentive to maintain it).
> Do you intend to maintain OCamlDuce in the long term, in parallel with CDuce?
OCamlDuce is easier to maintain than CDuce, because the code base is
smaller and it has no dependency on third-party libraries. Synchronizing
with OCaml's CVS is easy; I had no conflict moving from 3.08 to 3.09.
The low-level XML things (types, patterns, values) are shared between
CDuce and OCamlDuce, so it's not a big deal to maintain both in
parallel. I cannot make any promise for the long term, though.

What you describe is the typical scenario for which OCamlDuce was
designed. My advice would be to hide all the use of OCamlDuce features
in one or several modules with a pure OCaml interface. This way, you
could always change the implementation if OCamlDuce dies.

Please send the comments to ocamlduce@cduce.org :-)
