I gave a definition and showed how the definition applies to ocaml, =20 if you don't want to use that term for that then call it 'zorglub', =20 that suits me, it is just a property. So ocaml is a zorglub =20 programming language. Le 22 d=E9c. 06 =E0 21:14, Chad Perrin a =E9crit : > In point of fact, there is a clear definition. And that is, unsurprisingly, your definition. Can you show me an =20 authoritative source to support your claims ? Anyway, this terminology is as spoiled as this discussion so it is =20 worth not using it. Daniel
