    I agree that the CAML team works really hard to make Caml practical.
    Indeed the reason that I chose CAML to work with over other languages
    was its pragmatism. It gave the impression of a "C" type language [no
    insult intended], with the help of a whole lot of experience in
    modern language design, to make a really good language.
