Returning to an old discussion http://caml.inria.fr/pub/ml-archives/caml-list/2005/11/048f8f60868cf31d27d7fd66e3914023.en.html I don't think it can be (and will be) done. We should live with these big executables with considerable amount of dead code. > Cheers, > David > > On Fri, 2009-09-04 at 15:00 +0100, Richard Jones wrote: >> On Fri, Sep 04, 2009 at 02:49:52PM +0200, Julien Signoles wrote: >> > 3) It makes my executables too big >> > Yes, even if it seems to be improved in a close future. >> >> Is this a complaint against Batteries in particular or OCaml in >> general?
