I have working experience with Erlang which is a functional language used in real time= telecom software. This particular language (as far as I know anyway) is being developed from scratch by and for the industry. See www.erlang.org for information if interested. >* Ocaml is a slow implementation I think Ensemble could be a good example of rather advanced software developed in Ocaml that achieves very good performance compared to C/C++ equivalents. /Jens -- --[ Jens Olsson ]----------------------------------------------------- [Address] [Phone] [WWW] Dj=E4knegatan 13, 1tr Home: 018 - 24 88 77 jenso@csd.uu.se = 754 23 Uppsala Work: 018 - 471 76 85 www.csd.uu.se/~jenso SWEDEN Cell: CEASED!!!
