Hello all, everyone knows that with CAML one can define a parametrized type (such as type 'a set= Set of (('a) list);; ) or classes parametrized by many types...
Hi everyone, I'm trying to translate some of my Scheme experience into Ocaml, and have run into a snag while building some recursive functions. Here's what I ...

Hello all, here is a problem I encountered with classes (it's not a matter of having a code that works, rather of finding a code that avoids repetitive ...
... Well, see if I understand correctly... it seems that you want to have some "partial application" of a class. An easy way to do so is to have: class fclass...
