I have a brain disease where I always switch up these operators. Just read the first "L" and my brain stops working.

Introduction

Hi, I'm [name]. You probably know me from such classics as being way too relatable with how much I yearn on twitter, obsessing over being kind to people online, playing too many rhythm games, functional programming, or being the number 1 speedrunner of the hit 1980s MS-DOS game Transport Tycoon Deluxe. If you don't know me for any of those things but they seem cool, feel free to say hi! please! i need friends! i really like meeting people! please be my friend! i beg you! i need people to talk about programming and transport tycoon and for you to tell me about all the things you enjoy too and hopefully we share some overlap and can be good friends and enjoy each others company!!!!!

I really enjoy this picture of two camels used to illustrate this blog post about OCaml compiler internals.

I wanted to show someone a little thing I once did in ocaml that generated SVGs for a little project a while back, but when I tried to open the .ml file it opened instead in my image viewer, as an SVG.

Apparently sometime I just overwrote that program :(

Logging Frameworks that can communicate directly with Fluent Bit

While the typical norm is for applications to write their logs to file or to stdout (console), this isn’t the most efficient way to handle logs (particularly given I/O performance for the storage devices). Many logging frameworks have addressed this by providing more direct outputs to commonly used services such as ElasticSearch and OpenSearch. This is fine, but the only downside is that there is…

Oh no i lost control

Oh no i dint want to lose

Everything

And

Anything

Please

python is the only language that sounds like it's named after an animal but really isn't

[lalizah]

They have me making fucking checkers in OCaml lawd 😭😭😭😭😭

[monaddecepticon]

Going through the book Crafting intperpreters. But doing the Java parts in OCaml (I later plan to do the C parts in Rust) to make sure I understand the concepts and don't copy code without understanding.

We are implementing the visitor pattern for expressions. And I was like.

I know this, I'll use tagless final style

And I accidentally made it typesafe by getting carried away.

I'll have to revert 'a repr to just repr. But made a commit anyway to preserve it like this

Yearning for module type signatures

Stolen from my twitter; hoping itll get more interaction here

I've narrowed down my yearning to this; I do not pine for specific attributes of individuals, but for situations; I wish for specific scenarios, environments, etc as a baseline; my yearning for people can be summed up by "would they be found in these scenarios i wish for?"

There is no specific attribute of a human that I directly look or wish for; which is why i Like the abstract module type signature -> module that implements said signature metaphor. It just works!

All that is to say; what if you were a module that implemented the module type I wanted and i was a functor and i took you as input

I know there are good reasons for it but like. WHY WOULD ANYONE WRITE A COMPILER IN C THIS FUCKING SUCKS

(yes I know why someone would write a compiler in c but I am lamenting rn)

[nonsensebot]

I keep running into problems in Python which would be nonexistent if I was using OCaml instead

[monaddecepticon]

fails to mention my totally sane solution of generating ffmpeg invocations from ocaml. Yes totally reasonable.

Not exactly WYSIWYG though

tgirls be like

*most dick-suckingest voice you've ever heard* so yeah, even though Rust's syntax and runtime implementation details take inspiration from C++, its type system is actually primarily based on ML-family languages, completely breaking with the legacy of C. in fact, its first compiler was written in OCaml

[wayfire-official]

I think dynamically typed languages are weird and smelly and it's only hot when OCaml does it because she smells in a sexy way

[wayfire-official]

Do some stuff with c++

Hello world, fizzbuzz, a greeter, making some classes, reading a file.

Learning the basic syntax.

anyone wanna recommend something stupid to do? because i have way too much energy rn
