Due to recent policy changes here, I'll be closing my Twitter account soon - I'm @talex5@mastodon.social if you want to continue following me.

The video of my @icfp_conference keynote on OCaml 5.0 is up 😄: youtube.com/watch?v=6BhmRz…

I also gave the keynote at the OCaml workshop on the "here and now" of OCaml 5.0 addressing how OCaml users may transition to 5.0: speakerdeck.com/kayceesrk/ocam…

@fraidev @avsm @_anmonteiro Looks right, but might need a cast if e.g. you don't need the close method. I'm adding a Best Practices section to the README with some hints about this stuff: #best-practices" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/ocaml-multicor…

@avsm @_anmonteiro I didn't find a simple type for the flow returned when using "Eio.Net.connect". Probably am I using wrong? @_anmonteiro made a comment that makes sense but doesn't work too. #discussion_r960858850" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/fraidev/tornad…

New updates about my torrent client written in OCaml: OCaml5 Concurrency (faster, but not fast yet) Pretty Progress Bar Nix github.com/fraidev/tornado

Update on Eio (effects-based direct-style IO for OCaml 5) #OCaml ift.tt/RbfEaKc

HTTP requests in OCaml direct style? Yes please (no I/O monad)

Isn't there an option missing? Truly awful survey question from Office for Product Safety and Standards at BEIS. But it does provide great material for teaching about manipulative phrasing gov.uk/government/con…

@_anmonteiro @patricoferris Luv's main advantage is it supports Windows. But if someone makes a dedicated Windows backend for Eio, we could replace luv with a simpler POSIX backend.

@patricoferris It looks like EIO currently defaults to eio_linux on Linux, and luv on other platforms. That's what I was trying to express.

I added an experimental EIO backend to gluten in github.com/anmonteiro/glu…

Do you write OCaml? Can you never remember how to declare a polymorphic locally abstract type variable? Well then I have good news: introducing ocamlsyntax.com, a cheat sheet for all the weird syntax that you only use once a year.

@avsm @haesbaert_cf @eriangazag Yes. It seems like something that could plausibly make it into OCaml's stdlib.

@haesbaert_cf @talex5 @eriangazag We really need to rename that Lwt_delist to something without Lwt in it — it’s got nothing to do with Lwt 😜

@leonidasfromxiv My own, using omd and tyxml. Plus a load of lambda soup to help diff the new output and check I didn't break anything important!

@leonidasfromxiv I converted my Octopress to OCaml - builds around 1000x times faster and looks almost identical: roscidus.com/blog/

MirageOS 4.0 Beta Release #OCaml ift.tt/z2xaFkG

Excited to see the first release of eio -- an effect handlers-based direct-style IO stack for OCaml 5.0 discuss.ocaml.org/t/eio-0-1-effe…

Awesome Multicore OCaml is looking good: github.com/patricoferris/…. Thanks, @patricoferris!

Xavier Leroy has just merged the multicore OCaml PR into mainline OCaml trunk. Next stop: releasing 5.0! github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pu…

The December 2021 OCaml multicore monthly is here, with lots of juicy detail about those 4074 commits to mainline OCaml! discuss.ocaml.org/t/multicore-oc…

A new Signals and Threads, this one discussing memory management with the inimitable Stephen Dolan. The discussion was wide-ranging and enormously fun. I learned a ton! signalsandthreads.com/memory-managem…

The multicore OCaml PR for 5.0 has just been opened to the main respository! Congratulations @kc_srk and team, and happy holidays! github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pu…
