From: Adrien To: Oliver Bandel Cc: caml-list@yquem.inria.fr Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-Spam: no; 0.00; scilab:01 ocaml:01 scilab:01 ocaml:01 caml-list:01 caml:02 guess:04 nader:05 thread:06 probably:07 written:07 written:07 rules:11 explain:11 php:87 Hi, There is probably a simple and yet very good reason scilab isn't written in ocaml. Its predecessor was started in the 80s and scilab itself was started in 90s[1], I guess that rules out ocaml and caml which was only 5 years-old at that time. ;-) Now that doesn't explain why it is moving to java instead of ocaml but I think other messages in this thread already do. :) [1] http://www.scilab.org/platform/index_platform.php?page=history --- Adrien Nader
