I really think that the Ocaml community owes a big lot to Xavier Leroy, 
so I really suggest all of us to stop this rant.

And I also know that Ocaml is much cleaner and more robust (i.e. less 
buggy) than a lot of other compilers (either commercial, or opensource).

At last, I want to publicly congratulate Xavier Leroy on this list for 
his Michel Monpetit prize 
http://www-c.inria.fr/Internet/scientific-research/researchers-news/prizes-and-distinctions-1/prizes-and-distinctions-1/inria-receives-awards-for-the-quality-of-its-research

I still hope that Xavier Leroy won't be pissed off too long.

And I had the honor to work one year in Xavier Leroy's team. It was my 
best professionnal year, and I appreciated a lot Xavier personal 
qualities (in addition of his scientific ones).
