Subject: | Re: OCaml & Microsoft? |
Microsoft research (at least the cambridge UK branch) uses ocaml for some of its projects like terminator (static program analysis). Also, I'm guessing we will see some of the nice ocaml feature trickling in C# (or another mainstream caml language) one of these days (that's probably what F# is for). Some of the members of the Cambridge lab are active ocaml users (Simon Peyton-Jones for instance). I guess a good part of the the functional programming community uses ocaml. Even Philip Wadler uses it to code Links... IMHO Haskel is more of of a conceptual language. Ocaml seems handier for many tasks. Following this logic, Haskel being prized by Microsoft research, ocaml is often their language of choice. Till PS: this mail tainted by my personnal opinion, lets not start a flame war.
