Apropos Apple.... when M$ creates F# out of Ocaml, why not to trigger Apple to create sometging like BackendObjects or ScientificObjects (as complementary to WebObjects) out of OCaml on OS-X?! Maybe we should trigger Apple for this?! If not, they will use Objective-C and Java and nothing else. Ciao, Oliver
