** Yaron Minsky announced:

For those who are interested, I just posted a video of a talk I gave  
at CMU
several weeks ago about Jane Street's use of OCaml. This is an updated  
version
of the talk I gave at POPL last year. Various people have expressed an
interest in showing the talk to their undergraduate classes, so I  
thought it
worth mentioning on the list.

Here's the link:

   <http://ocaml.janestreet.com/?q=node/61>

I can also provide the original quicktime file from which this is  
based on
request.

Our blog is here:

    <http://ocaml.janestreet.com>

And I wrote a post about our build system here:

    <http://ocaml.janestreet.com/?q=node/36>

Interestingly, it is the most popular post on the blog. Turns out,  
there are
more people who care about version control than people who care about
functional programming. (It's not that bad, though. The second most  
popular
post is on type-indexed values).

Using folding to read the cwn in vim 6+
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is a quick trick to help you read this CWN if you are viewing it  
using
vim (version 6 or greater).

:set foldmethod=expr
:set foldexpr=getline(v:lnum)=~'^=\\{78}$'?'<1':1
zM
If you know of a better way, please let me know.
