Do you think ocaml is a good bet for this purpose, or should I stick with C++? (in which I know how to write SMP code :) Will it be easy and efficient for me to implement imperative data structures which should be locked on update ops, but will not need such on queries (yes, I know it sounds naughty but it should be possible)? Or are there well known obstacles to performing such feats using our beloved ocaml? Your advice will be much appreciated. Regards, -- Eray Ozkural (exa) Comp. Sci.
