I think you don't quite realize how big an institute the INRIA is : http://www.inria.fr/inria/enbref.en.html Plus, there are a variety of other (domain-specific, mostly) languages developed by INRIA teams, and anyway there's no reason to enforce the use of OCaml in all INRIA projects. That would even be strongly counter-productive, since I don't think you can find 2800 scientists in the country (covering all IT fields) who know OCaml well enough. As frustrating as it may seem, most teams are actually using mainstream languages. Cheers, Stéphane L. -- I'm the kind of guy that until it happens, I won't worry about it. - R.H. RoY05, MVP06
