Damn.
Looks like I've got distracted, again. I haven't hacked Reiska for almost a week now, having got caught up in the wonders OCaml. I did get a start writing a FNP client library in OCaml, though, so maybe the time wasn't all wasted. As a side effect I've started yearning for OCaml-ish closures in C... it feels like many of the problems that OCaml makes rather simple when compared to C would be solved quickly and efficiently using closures, tail recursion and all that functional-programming-y stuff. I can imagine how implementing closures (in the language, that is) without garbage collection would require some world-class trickery though...

Further on the plus side, I've grown used to OCaml's strong & static typing -- it's actually kind of neat, having the compiler barf on certain idiotic errors. It's no C for some low-level tasks, but it'll do for stuff I'd previously have used things like Python and Java for.

ebizo: 19.89 and counting.
