Is there any chance that someone can mention lisp without the OCaml folks popping off?

If you want to see a move towards OCaml, write great apps or useful tools.



Hm. I'm really more of a Lisp person than an OCaml person. I just find the language interesting. And specifically, I was responding to the comment "studios moving away from C/C++". Which, of itself, has nothing to do with Lisp.

Regardless, I'll take that as a "no".


My favorite OCaml tool: Unison File Synchronizer - http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison


I thought it was a reasonable suggestion, considering that game OCaml is known for C-like performance. This seems to be borne out by its use in the financial industry, which also cares a lot about speed and performance.
