Subject: Re: [Caml-list] Automatic complexity analysis of OCaml programs

Also the work of the people-next-door to the Ocaml developers, namely the ALGO project.  See their web page at 
http://algo.inria.fr/.

In particular the work of Philippe Flajolet, Bruno Salvy and Marni Mishna (spanning many years) on "automatic 
complexity analysis", *especially* the asymptotic average-case analyses are quite impressive.  They have been doing 
this since 1989, but 'hiding' in the combinatorics and algorithms communities, and somehow their work seems to have 
(unfortunately) escaped the attention of the programming language community.
