I know there are a lot of OCaml enthusiasts among the ruby community -  
something that struck me in the brief time I’ve been dabbling with the  
language is that it might be useful to port the OCamlMakefile[1] to Rake  
and/or Rant. Not so much because I think the OCaml community would adopt  
it, but because it would be a good workout for Rake, and might generate  
some useful libraries and techniques for dealing with other languages.  
Anyway, I lack the skills with either OCaml or Rake to try this myself;  
just thought I’d mention it in case anyone found it a fun idea.
