> perhaps a different c--?

Yes, the graph talks about http://sourceforge.net/projects/cmmscript/ not the C-- used in/extracted from GHC.

There's at least one other C-- used in the OCaml compiler.

That's almost certainly a different one. It's described as a scripting language and that it appeared in 92. This C-- only came around 97...

It's quite an obvious name, I'd expect there to be many more called C--!

That must me the Cmm we did in the early 90s. That engine became the basis for (probably) most JavaScript uses up until 10 years ago. I wrote too much about it here: http://www.brent-noorda.com/nombas/history/HistoryOfNombas.h...

it mentions c-- as a scripting language, i'd guess they're different things.
