When Docker acquired Unikernel Systems in 2016, @solomonstre joked that the next logical step would be to rewrite Docker 2.0 in OCaml. Well... Did I tell you that I like my jokes to run for years? Challenge accepted – 🐳 ➡️ 🐫 here is `docker pull` in OCaml 5+eio #ocaml #docker

Chad PR - Documentation-only pull request - Explains opam/dune/melange under Reason (de-prio esy) - Fixes 20+ issues - Improves current pages (jsx, what and why) - Creates pages I wish I had when I started (refmt, rtop) - Links to melange playground 🔥

New OCaml my Camel merch just dropped: ocamlist.com

We have updated an intro article to ATD to show how it'd work with Melange: tech.ahrefs.com/getting-star… If you try it and have any feedback, please share :) if you like the camel, please share too! 🐫

Released Melange 2.1 with nice additions and important fixes. Best of which is TRMC (tail-recursion modulo cons, more in tweet reply) enabled github.com/melange-re/melang…

Veteran Haaretz journalist Amira Hass has reported from the Occupied Palestinian Territories for decades and says the Israeli public is "drunk with the will to take revenge" on Palestinians, spurred on by a far-right government dominated by "extreme fascist settlers."

Do any opam/dune users know how I can add "OCamls own tokenizer" as a dependency to my project?

A thread on the talk on wasm_of_ocaml by Jerome Vouillon at the Wasm CG meeting

Well, we hit 1000 followers on my twitch channel this morning. I’m still at a loss of words that 1000 of y’all have decided my ramblings, typos, and subpar OCaml content is worth your time. A month ago when I started this I would have never suspected I’d enjoy it this much or come close to having this awesome of a community. Thank you y’all, very thankful for all of you (even @metameeee) 🐫💜 If you haven't tuned in yet (twitch.tv/dmmulroy) here are some exciting things we'll be working on on stream in the next few weeks! - Building a component library in OCaml using @htmx_org and tailwind for @teej_dv and @ThePrimeagen's The Reactagen site - Building and distributing a CLI around our Spotify ↔️ Apple Music playlist transfer tool in OCaml - Finishing up and releasing 'better-ts-errors.nvim' 1.0.0, a port of @mattpocockuk's 'ts-error-translator' to @Neovim - Continuing work on @cmgriffing's OCaml Vexilla SDK

This is what happens when you let a Frontend dev work on a type-checker

we got ppx-deriving and ppx_variants_conv working with @melange_re, the patches are quite short, e.g.: github.com/ocaml-ppx/ppx_der… we have to figure out how to make this work without adding melange as a dep upstream, but things are looking good from the ecosystem integration pov.

Don't miss the first ReScript Online Meetup this coming Tuesday! We're diving deep into all of the new features in ReScript v11, which is just around the corner. guild.host/events/rescript-v…

YES ✊

I'm excited to introduce rescript-edgedb - use @edgedatabase with full type safety directly from your ReScript code! github.com/zth/rescript-edge… You can put any EdgeQL in there, co-located with your actual ReScript code, and enjoy full type safety. 🧵There's more though! ⬇️

Yup, anyone who isn't sure about OCaml syntax... do try Reason, it could feel more familiar depending on what languages you've used reasonml.github.io/

Lots of people ask why OCaml is suddenly trending. So quick recap according to my understanding. 1. @teej_dv learns about OCaml from cool folks and decides to solve Adventure of Code with it. Being an influencer, he shares his experience with lots of people. 2. @davesnx implements React in OCaml giving the language another boost. 3. @_anmonteiro announces Melange which is OCaml on frontend. This is an amazing milestone! 4. Awesome folks like @yawaramin @welltypedwitch @ElucidationsPod always helped by answering OCaml questions and now they have even more work, giving the language more exposure and spreading more love about friendly OCaml folks. 5. Somewhere around this time, completely unaware of all this, I find a new job in OCaml at Bloomberg, and I post more about it because the language is great and the community is super friendly 💛 6. @sabine_s_ enters the chat and dunks the entire X crowd with awesome OCaml memes. And with great improvements to the OCaml documentation as well but people mostly notice memes. 7. All this happens while OCaml is having the time of the life. New 5.0.0 release with multicore support is being dropped, OCaml gets a prestigious Sigplan award, build tooling is getting great thanks to ‘dune’, docs are getting better, and so on. 8. @teej_dv nags @ThePrimeagen just enough, so we get another influencer posting about OCaml because why not post about a trendy subject. 9. @dillon_mulroy streams about OCaml and lots of people actually see this great language in action. 10. @htmx_org decides to be htmx and before Bun got released, OCaml enjoys a good flow of mentions from “not a frontend framework”. 11. People see lots of OCaml mentions in their feeds and ask why it’s trending. 12. This turns into self-fulfilling prophecy and people see OCaml even more in their feeds. At least this is what I see from my bubble. Q.E.D.

Hey new to OCamel, but i see a lot of potential. A noob question, I wonder if it’s possible to rewrite @solid_js in melange. Or write some sort bindings so one can create solid js app using OCamel ?
