Thanks for the comments. I thought that float ref's were unboxed by

not have any calls to "caml_modify"; everything is unboxed and stored

For me this is the biggest reason for not using batteries. I don't
really have a need for small executables right now, but I would like
to at least know that this issue will be resolved before I adopt
batteries.

Overall impression that it is still a bit messy:

I have been planning to start using Batteries for several months, but here
are some reasons I have not yet:
- It did not compile under godi, but I haven't tried in a while.
- The migration will require changes across our code base. It's hard to set
aside the time for such an undertaking.
- Core

I like writing my own libraries when I need some.
(But don't misread me: I don't see myself as a concurrent to Batteries,

Great! I did not know this book was going to employ Batteries. That is a
great step towards making Batteries the standard library.

Hello,
I just downloaded ocaml (and caml-light) . I am looking for documentation on pdf
or any format that I can easily download , read and print. I need basic
information. All I found was on line and the "help" didn't come with the file I
downloaded to install ocaml and caml-light.

Can you elaborate on this?

I am not sure my answer is relevant, but here it is :
The ratio
(time needed to install&learn&use it) / (time saved)
has to be interesting (close to zero).
For me, at the moment, this ratio is close to infinite.
However, I do hope to use it someday.

Hi
I installed the Haskell Platform because there was a binary for win32, and
didn't installed Ocaml Batteries for the same reason: "You may download the
source tarball from the Forge [1], read the on-line API documentation [2] or
the extended release notes [3]."

The main systems where it batteries would be useful for me is on
production code for Ubuntu 6.06 (legacy) and 8.04. I do have a laptop
running 9.04 and will probably upgrade that to 9.10 in the near future.
