I like OCaml very much BUT if people cannot "checkin" their contributions, e.g. ipv6 socket code, then OCaml is only a "science experiment"!! I am sorry for being brutal but from a pragmatic viewpoint, this is true. By definition a "community" has access to all good resources. I frankly didn't know about unchecked-in IPV6 socket code until I posted a notice about my ipv4 multicast code. Bottom line: there are a lot of valuable contributions to OCaml that should be code reviewed and if good checked-in! Alternative: C++, i.e. sh*t!
