Now there's an interesting discussion! Where in your design do you want objects, if you don't mind my asking? What design style (custom, standard cell, FPGA, ...) is your P&R program intended to address? My admittedly narrow minded bias based EDA tasks is that I'd rather have a more powerful system of records than what OCaml currently has, instead of classes, and that when I do write code with classes, it's not really using late-binding/open-recursion. If you're into EDA though, there are quite a few APIs based on C++ and now Java and Python (I'm thinking of OpenAccess here) which may pressure anyone writing OCaml bindings into a "me tOO" design. -- Brian ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
