Interesting idea, and if it can be done without any penalty for people who doesn't need it, it would be a nice addition to Ocaml. Java and overview ================= Java programming with a lot of files in a lot of different directories isn't very nice. It is very difficult to get a good overview of the part of the project you are improving. However, in Java there are three things that destroys overview, and I don't know which one is worst 1. size of code, java programs are long, and there is a lot of nonsense rows (for example accessors) 2. one class per file (true for 95% of the classes) 3. spreading the program over many different directories. In order to solve this, a lot of graphical tools are built and sold to help people get the overview, like class browsers, UML.... /mattias P.s Note that nonsense rows is also true for some part of Ocaml, for that I have to write accessors for objects attributes.
