Has there been some attempt to do it the other way round, that is to run Java on the OCaml runtime system ? It could be with the full OCaml VM, or maybe more realistically, with a specialized VM using only the OCaml memory model (GC and block layout) and thread scheduling. Would it be difficult to implement (in C for instance) a Java VM on top of the OCaml runtime system ? -- Alain Frisch ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr.
