Do you mean source-level compatibility between the two languages? I'm
afraid they are too different, and limiting oneself to their
intersection is not realistic for a large project (and you'd loose many
benefits of each language).
For a bridge between the two languages, it would not be very different
from a generic bridge between OCaml and .Net (similar to CSML), with the
same major issue of having to deal with two separate GCs and references
between them, maybe just with a better structural treatment for sum
types. Not very exciting, and to make it usable, one would also need to
address existing issues with OCaml under Windows anyway.
Also, I don't think that people really want to use both languages in the
same project.
Maybe you mean something else with interoperability?
