OCaml has one of the best UX out there. It’s a joy to use and it’s fast. I’d love to write firmware in OCaml and I think modern microcontrollers are fast enough. Perhaps, what the world really needs is just a better OCaml garbage collector! Maybe a few variants, for hardware

It appears that few people want to waddle through someone else's digital garden. So I've got a proper blog now! Please welcome joel.id

I'm on a roll today with OCaml advocacy!

There are no OCaml contract jobs to be had. There are no Zig contract jobs to be had. Send me Rust contract jobs you know of!

Then I'll write Habu in Rust! x.com/joelreymont/st…

I just discarded using an arena and ids for my Rust AST. It looks like I would have to implement a boxed version of the AST to serialize it for snapshot testing (insta, etc.), plus a converter from the area version to the boxed one. How do you folks deal with it? #Rust

a surprising number of programming problems boil down to "make a compiler." composable queries: compiler complex config: compiler complex validation: compiler request->transform->request: guess what? the "transform" part is a compiler.

Rust is a completely passable OCaml! Also, Zed with Helix keybindings is better than Helix. The UX of going through Rust Analyzer issues is buttery smooth! Also, being able to view the whole project at the same time is a big deal for me. Some key binding issues,

On this day, 12 years ago, I asked on official OpenGL forums for a simple and easy-to-use library to put graphics on screen. I got no answer so I created #raylib.🚀 Source: community.khronos.org/t/graphics-h-e…

Resilience! 💪🏻👇🏻

Trump could. Trump would. Wake me up when Trump did! P.S. not talking about tariffs.

Where are all my OCaml people?!
