Yes, Unix is technically superior to Windows. But Plan 9 is technically superior to Unix. But I doubt Eray is running Plan 9. More computers run Windows than all other OS's combined. If you want a large user base you need to support Windows. If you do not care about the size of your user base, write for Plan 9. Personalty I try to support as many systems as practical. It bothers me that the Ocaml community seems to consider Windows developers as second class citizens. Until this changes Ocaml will never be a main stream language. F# may eat it's lunch. But F# is tied to Windows, Ocaml has the potential to be multi-platform. I just wish it would live up to this potential. -EdK Ed Keith e_d_k@yahoo.com Blog: edkeith.blogspot.com
