By the way, are there benchmarks comparing code produced by ocamlc, ocamlopt and F# (together with SML.NET and SML/NJ for that matter) on a variety of algorithm and numerics-intensive tasks? IIRC, when .NET/C# just came out, there were claims that it was almost as fast as C. -- Oleg Trott <oleg_trott@columbia.edu> ------------------- 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
