Ant may be written in OCaml but the author himself pointed out recently that ant wasn't written for speed and isn't fast. It's designed, like luaTeX, to be easy to modify and extend (as long as you know OCaml and can recompile). It did include a scripting language before luaTeX :) but not a full-featured one. _______________________________________________ dev-luatex mailing list [email protected] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/dev-luatex
