[rabbitmq-discuss] ocaml libs

[Joe Williams]

Tony,

Looking at Lwt it seems that for an OCaml AMQP lib it might be the 
(only?) way to go. I bet you're right though regarding the inadequacies 
of Lwt and missing piece between sockets and events otherwise there 
would probably already be an AMQP lib. :)
