Many Ocaml libraries can be build under Windows without a problem. And now GODI supports Windows too. > F# may eat it's lunch. But F# is tied to Windows, Ironically it's also not entirely true. F# works well under Mono/Unix. Maybe it will even be faster than Ocaml for some applications due to threads running in parallel on multiple cores. But F# is very different from Ocaml. - Dmitry Bely
