I've been arguing about this for a while, you don't need horizontal scaling anymore. Just do something reasonably fast, like OCaml.

Tomorrow (Sep 6) at ICFP 2024 in Milan: - "Designing interrupts for ML and OCaml" - "Automatic Differentiation via Effects and Handlers in OCaml" - "Wasm_of_ocaml" You can watch the live-stream of these talks on YouTube here: dlvr.it/TCsGRP dlvr.it/TCsGRS

Easy Debugging for OCaml With LLDB: If you’re just getting started with OCaml, you may be wondering how to effectively debug your code when things go wrong. Fortunately, OCaml's ecosystem has evolved, offering modern tools that make… dlvr.it/TCw4b6 #OCaml #OCamlPlanet

i love that this is *possible* but i would not call it “easy” yet easy is clicking on the line in the editor and seeing my program stop, and visually inspect the state of the stack, maybe even tweak values, and press step to see the next thing the bar for easy is the chrome

I have yet used the debugger for OCaml and I have made lots of powerful and performant software with it due to its lightweight type system that makes it easy to write modular and composable software. The power of OCaml!

did you get a chance to try "oxidized OCaml" yet? what's your impression?

Outreachy May 2024 Demo: The OCaml community participated in the May 2024 round of Outreachy internships. Three interns worked on a range of projects including tools to diff OCaml APIs, more accessible diffing tools and running OCaml… dlvr.it/TCzddR #OCaml #OCamlPlanet

had a great time at ICFP and the OCaml Workshop. a big takeaway is that we can try flambda2 + jane street extensions _today_. slowly adding support in nix-overlays -- some packages already compiling github.com/nix-ocaml/nix-…

these are the reasons (no pun intended) you should be excited and watch the OCaml ecosystem

Did you know that in OCaml world 3 represents true and 1 represents false?
