I'd like to get everyone's opinions on it, especially the people who were there (please oh please check to make sure I spelled everyone's name correct- I'm a stupid 'merkin and not used to charaters with accents, unless they come from the south :-). Comments on all levels- from flawed chronology and incorrect causality to bad grammar and misspellings are welcomed. Don't worry about hurting my feelings. The HTML version is here: http://www.bogonomicon.org/bblog/ocaml-history.html A PDF version is here: http://www.bogonomicon.org/bblog/ocaml-history.pdf For some reason, DocBook wants to make a 1-page article take 4 pages in the pdf version, I'm not 100% sure why.
