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. ecsodikas.eu/posts/functi...

Made some # ocaml bindings for libdrm and learnt about Linux mode setting: https:// roscidus.com/blog/blog/2025/11 /16/libdrm-ocaml/ Interest | Match | Feed

really quite enamored with ocaml, having used it for several personal projects now. having bounced off of haskell pretty hard because of the lazy immutability making it difficult for us to reason about our program's behavior, being able to write direct-style IO and mutability where we need it is […]

This is the future Jane Street wants. #NoToNil #protest #Option4Ever #foryou #foryoupage gist.github.com/qexat/8d21b9...

ocaml ctypes is wild because you have types representing c types, and then values of those types, corresponding to those c types, and you use those values to construct functions by composing the values, which create functions that restrict the types of ocaml values that can be passed in, and […]

ok so these CPS-based social API libraries are coming along this was a huge refactor, moving out all the oauth and posting logic into individual libraries

Anyone up for doing Advent of Code in OCaml this year? 🎄🐫 bsky.app/profile/did:...

@smelc.bsky.social Wondering if OCaml developers are being recruited by you or others. My work is in my Git profile and mohanr.github.io. Thanks

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. terrateam.io/blog/is-ocam...

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?

ocaml speedrun from 0 knowledge this weekend???? only a day away???

So, I'm doing #adventofcode 2019 (Intcode) in #ocaml in my spare time to practice in preparation for doing this year. I'm pretty proud of it so far. I've built lots of emulators and virtual machines in my day, but never in a functional language […]

I'm sure this works fine with ocaml and not reason syntax but it's pretty funny

I should upload my messy ocaml solutions to Advent of Code 2018-2024 to Github before AOC 2025 starts. They all use stdlib only (of whatever version was latest at the time I did it), except for one problem I did by hand and a few (~3) which use LAPACK (via handcrafted ffi or lacaml).

#fsharp is .NET ocaml/rust and is my favourite dotnet language since I learnt it years ago, #csharp is ok and has great tooling and bigger crowd, but knowing both makes you a better dev 🦔🩵💎 Also check out fable.io as F# compiles to JS like typescript but also to Python and Rust. #noKings 👑

More @tangled.org packages heading into opam @ocaml.org. It's getting easier and easier! tangled.org/@anil.recoil...

i am supposed to be doing an assignment for my music class , and i got distracted and started writing an ocaml bidirectional transformation parser library thing. oh no

If I published (big if! no promises!) OCaml packages to work with social APIs (e.g. X, Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn), would you try them? What would you build?

No jokes, but if you write 🐫OCaml🐫 you the developer would actually fly.

A rough and ready, online Hazel of OCaml compiler: patricoferris.github.io/hazel_of_oca...

Putting this OCaml out there for posterity sake. The resources in the post is super valuable. kcsrk.info/ocaml/2025/1...

by the way, if you hover the code some items are clickable :)

i wish ocaml's standard library had a mutating iterator

same, to be honest

What is the difference between ReScript and ReasonML

You know what would be cool? HomOCaml, a pure, homoiconic subset of OCaml.

AI did a huge refactor on my ~24k lines of OCaml app, migrating from caqti to caqti+ppx_rapper 🐫

what AI thinks the search function on an emoji picker for desktop websites should work like 🤨

the moment when you go on Product Hunt to research competitors and you realize you've been building a social media tool for ADHDers

woo! a magic number! 777 subscribers on the FUN OCaml YouTube Channel

it actually worked out

I'm 90% done with this app... now for the other 90%...

ocaml ctypes is pretty alright tbh

The OCaml cabal is out in force tonight with their ocaml propaganda

Seriously, if you’re not pushing well crafted languages like F#, OCaml, Rust and Zig, you are hurting the software industry and guaranteeing we have keep swallowing warmed over garbage for the next decade Stop being lazy! Get AI to teach you these and push them at work!

I will using OCaml this year. I have automated the shit out of my aoc repo, to have enough time solving the challenge. Just create a new folder 2025 and get started with the makefiles. You can watch the YT video for direction. github.com/aguluman/adv...

Just published a comprehensive guide to the OCaml programming language. Tried to go beyond the "what" and into the "why" – covering its foundational concepts, the fascinating case study of Jane Street, and its modern use in blockchain and security. Read more: 👉 tinyurl.com/yyrywrvb #Programming

and by real language i don't mean python; i mean OCaml

it's a feature!

ok so one thing I struggled with when I was cross-posting memes to different social media is alt text. On every platform I had to copy-paste the post itself, add the image, and copy the alt text.
