[REBOL] Re: OT: Compiler Languages

The syntax of OCaml is no worse than C. Both are bad. It's just that
people are so accustomed to C that they no longer recognize its
objective ugliness.
Robert this stuff is WAY, WAY off topic -- but here briefly are some
links. D could learn a lot from OCaml. I like them both but D
suffers from the deficiencies of C more than anyone cares to admit.
It is by design very close to C -- which is a good thing and a bad
thing.
D is still very pre-alpha while OCaml is into version 3.
OCaml is hybrid functional/imperative and you'll find similarities
with REBOL on the functional side. OCaml is wicked fast. I hope D
incorporates some of its features.
