The way the system is set up (according to the paper), all functions appear as bytecode, i.e., the only stdlib functions added are those that are actually used. Probably not a big deal in most cases, but it sounds like a major bonus for embedded systems. For hedgehog, most of the system is only present at compile-time, under the assumption that it can do heavy compilation but will run on a weak system.
Also, thanks for all your blogging / commenting / etc. about OCaml over the years! Learned a ton. I'll buy you coffee or a pint if we ever cross paths.
- andrewcooke 16y agoOK, thanks. (Do you have the right person? I haven't used OCaml for years now. Anyway, if so, glad I could help...)
- silentbicycle 16y agoI think so...it was several years ago, when I was learning OCaml.
