Subject: [Caml-list] Is anybody still using Caml Light ?
Date: Mon, 31 Jul 2017 22:56:22 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e70e2926-6ec6-a0e3-88d6-0bb5a704b9d5@prepas.org> (raw)

Hello,

the (old) Caml webpage at INRIA <http://caml.inria.fr/index.en.html>
states that Caml Light "is actively used in education".

I wonder if this is still true. Is it ?

Caml Light is still used in the French classes préparatoires because of
an official text that mandates it. More and more teachers would like to
switch over to OCaml, but this would require a change in that text,
which might take time.

If, as I suspect, Caml Light is no longer actively used but for legal
reasons, it might be useful to rephrase this part of the Caml website to
state that Caml Light is no longer supported and that all users,
including for teaching purposes, are encouraged to switch.

In its present formulation, this web page might be giving governmental
regulators a false impression about Caml Light.
