No, I'm not writing it in OCaml, sorry ;)

(I wish, but I've never got good enough at ML-style languages to handle
that sort of thing, and their PostgreSQL interfaces mostly suck, and
most of them are really rather crappy at representing graphs in my
experience. Yes, backing it with PostgreSQL makes it comparatively slow
and bloated, but it means I don't have to bother with the data storage
gunge in the experimental phase and can concentrate on the interesting
algorithmic stuff instead.)

When my hardware stops failing I'll finalize the design and stick it on
a Trac... I was *going* to do it last weekend before I lost one machine
and one SCA SCSI disk in quick succession. (Thankfully it happened the
day after I ran a full backup.)

I hate hardware.
