Several members of this list were surprised that the language summary only mentioned "ML" and not OCaml nor SML nor other ML variants. This is how it appeared on the judge's presentation, but I take it that in their minds (as well as in mine), "ML" stands for all ML dialects: OCaml, Caml Light, SML, Moscow ML, etc. (Similarly, they had only one line for C and C++, although both languages are definitely different.) Actually, I like the use of "ML" as an umbrella for all these dialects, since it helps reduce the fragmentation of the F.P. community as viewed by outsiders. - Xavier Leroy
