... one could probably get an estimate from 

a) the number of downloads of the O'Reilly book and O'Caml manual

b) the number of people subscribed to caml-list

c) the number of unique posters per month (people are unlikely to change 
their email addresses on this time scale) [this number equals 143 for July, 
according to my records]

Not everyone who knows O'Caml is subscribed / posts to caml-list of course, 
and vice versa. Can anyone get a better estimate?

Thanks
Oleg
