I am indeed quite interested in this kind of binding, especially to measure the performance of the Lua language interacting with OCaml. I would use Lua to create functions to process huge amount of data and to replace a DSL I created. So far, we have: http://bitbucket.org/dpowers/luacaml by David Powers a prototype by Paolo Donadeo lua-ml by Christian Lindig Maybe we can join our forces to create a common binding to Lua from OCaml. I propose to host it at http://forge.ocamlcore.org, we can even have an hg repository if needed. If anyone is interested, I think more forces to this effort are welcome. I would be glad that at least David, Paolo and Christian join ;-) Regards, Sylvain Le Gall ps: right now I can provide some time to setup the forge account and web pages, but I will have to dedicate a lot of time to real life starting on Friday (or before -- depending the time my daughter will choose to born).
