Why should you use #OCaml for your next project? 🤔 @lambda_foo talks abt how to deliver real-world systems, engineering design elements, solution tradeoffs, where to spend yr budget & the non-technical side that dictates whether the project succeeds. youtu.be/TxuLrsQZprE?si=ntMF…

Why is OCaml on Windows important? Most of the visitors to OCaml.org are on Windows. It is important that they get an experience that is not much worse than other OSes. See plausible.ci.dev/ocaml.org.

"I gained a lot of insights about minor details while programming for multicore systems, as well as OCaml language features that can have a significant impact on performance." #OCaml #FunctionalProgramming tarides.com/blog/2023-09-15-…

Our Experience at Tarides: Projects From Our Internships in 2023

Interns built "Par_incr," an OCaml library for parallel incremental computation, enhancing efficiency. "Olinkcheck" automates link-checking on large websites.

Released Melange 1.0 three months ago. Followed up with Melange 2.0 this week. Lots of work went into both releases. Happy with the pace at which we're shipping. What's stopping you from trying out Melange?

Some nice parallel GC tuning will land in OCaml 5.1: github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/… In OCaml 5.0, our focus was to ensure that sequential programs had similar performance on 5.0 (parallelism aware runtime) when compared to OCaml 4.x (sequential runtime).

Fix idle domain gc by damiendoligez · Pull Request #11903 · ocaml/ocaml

Trying to fix #11589 (and maybe #11548). Two changes here: GC work accounting and distribution becomes global. extra major slices are done globally instead of locally. The benchmark code is here:...

Interrupting (ir)regular content to share my article about stack allocation in OCaml - we introduce modes, which track properties akin to lifetime and ownership in Rust. This is work by our compilers team at @JaneStreetGroup. blog.janestreet.com/oxidizin…

Oxidizing OCaml: Locality

OCaml with Jane Street extensions is available from our public opam repo. Only a slice of the features described in this series are currently implemented.

New folks learning OCaml, please give feedback on the ocaml.org learning experience forms.gle/L1oQgEs3N9D6qx5v9

Welcome to a World of OCaml

OCaml is a general-purpose, industrial-strength programming language with an emphasis on expressiveness and safety.

realizing most of my 2023 is going to be spent thinking about OCaml and convincing people that it has been the future for like 20 years ...and that's really exciting for me
