everyone-- At the risk of flogging a dead horse... I still think the simplest and most effective way to improve the utility of Ocaml in the construction of large software projects is not a CPAN-like distributed source library-- it's a federated naming authority for library modules, like you find in the Java Runtime Environment. This is the *one* glaring hole in the language as far as I'm concerned, and if I ever find myself in a position to do something about it-- I just might have to hack the tool chain myself to get what I want. (On the other hand, the one glaring hole in the implementation that INRIA provides, if you ask me, is the incomplete support for dynamic module load/link in native code programs. This is not that big a problem for me, but it would be nice to have.) In all other respects, I'm more than satisfied-- I'm tickled pink. -- j h woodyatt <jhw@wetware.com> markets are only free to the people who own them. ------------------- 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
