Hi Brian,

Nice to hear from you again.

I learnt CAML during my studies. Personally, that's not my cup of tea. 
While type inference and program proofs are very useful, I just can't 
enjoy writing functional programs.

That may have to do with the fact that most functional programming 
languages inherit from Lisp syntax... The nearest that I came to a 
functional language that I wanted to use is Lustre 
(http://citeseer.nj.nec.com/halbwachs91synchronous.html).

If you have on your agenda creating a functional programming language 
that keeps its distances with the Lisp tree structuration, I am 
interested. If you are just thinking of extending OCAML, I wouldn't 
follow you.

That is just my opinion...
