Checked a lot of to-dos off my list this week.
Realized I am getting better at programming each day.
And I registered my company last year on July 3rd 2024, I am now putting in effort, one hour at a time, to give it life, it's daunting, but "how hard can it possible be".

In OCaml, ! is used to retrieve the contents of a
reference.
It does not negate the content of the variable, as I used to assume before I discovered.

With Advent of Code coming up I've written a blog post about solving coding challenges with functional programming. Maybe someone reads it and recognizes that you dont need deep understanding of type theory or monads to get started with the cool stuff. Examples in OCaml.

I have been using NixOS for a couple months now and have really liked it. It really scratches this part of my brain that really likes to keep everything tidy and tracked. The the declarative nature of NixOS is great for that. Plus it makes it easy to sync my environment across my two laptops.

Hey OCaml community.
Do you know if anyone has attempted the One Billion Row challenge in OCaml recently using the concurrency and parallelism feature since OCaml 5.0?

No, hiring isn't hard for #OCaml. The Blub paradox is real. I have 30 resumes in my Inbox. The hard part is saying no.

We chose #OCaml for Stategraph because "move fast and break state" didn't sound like a great product strategy.

Why we chose OCaml to write Stategraph
OCaml's type system catches state corruption at compile time. Type-safe SQL, automatic serialization, and immutability by default prevent entire categories of bugs.

I discovered sentinel files today, it enables me ignore files that has been built previously.
It saves my time during build process.
This is because I use makefiles and I combine lots of command into one. I combine dune build @odoc, dune fmt and dune exec <project> --watch into make run.

highlights from the new release include unified array syntax, four new stdlib modules, and major runtime improvements. the experimental merlin branch using domains and effects looks promising for performance gains. https://ocaml.org/news/platform-2025-10 🐫

ocaml.org also got reorganized with a clear separation between stable releases (OCaml Changelog) and experimental features (Backstage OCaml). this makes it so much easier to know what's production-ready! 🧡

what makes it special is the governance model - it's a commons, not just a publishing platform. packages need substantial utility, proper naming, and maintainers can explicitly declare their maintenance intentions (rare in package ecosystems!) 🧡
