So, for instance, generics are encoded by doing up-casts to Object and downcasts, etc. So, we won't be any better off trying to do F# on the JVM than we are today. -Greg ------------------- 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
