Every feature in a programming language has to be evaluated in a large context. There are lot's of useful features that OCaml doesn't have. Would you add them all? I never said polymorphic recursion was useless, and I'd like direct support for it added, so your claim that my analysis suggests it's uselessness indicates that I am communicating very badly. I'll just be quiet on this topic. > Your trick Actually, Jacques Garrigue's trick http://caml.inria.fr/archives/199809/msg00032.html but I just noticed that OCaml 3.05 has the same first class polymorphism on records and since there was no use of class features like dynamic binding that a record dictionary is even better. BTW, the Caml mailing list archive is a really great resource. -- Brian ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
