Do you have any particular reason for choosing OCAML?

I cannot go into details about programming languages
right now, I'm leaving. I think that we can continue
to use Python at least in this phase (fully hosted).

Quickly, some requirements are:

1) features based on psychological consideration:

2) compact implementation;
3) fast implementation with the minimum effort
   possible.

Thanks, this is useful.

Have a look here for ideas:

  http://zoe.nu/ (click on ZOË in the left menu)

They make perhaps too much use of links, which is not
our ideal as we have discussed privately. But is a
starting point.
