"Package Managers à la Carte, A Formal Model of Dependency Resolution" preprint out today: a new package calculus to describe the cambrian explosion of systems that exist today https://arxiv.org/pdf/2602.18602 lead by @ryan

Watching @ryan give his unified formal calculus talk to an overflowing room at #fosdem! Livestream https://stream.fosdem.org/k3201.m3u8

congratulations to David Allsopp on having the first of his mega relocatable OCaml compiler patches merged! https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml/pull/14243. This is part of a series that'll make binary distributions of O(x)Caml compiler variants so much easier […]

Just added support for to-dos, journals, and calendar colouring to my CalDAV client! https://github.com/RyanGibb/caledonia

The next release of OCaml's package manager, Opam, will have support for dependency management with Nix! https://ryan.freumh.org/opam-nix.html

I've written a command line calendar client for vdir 0]: (the calendar maildir [0]): [https://github.com/RyanGibb/caledonia 0] [https://pimutils.org/specs/vdir/ 1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maildir

Does anyone know of any calendar clients / servers that actually use the scheduling functionality of CalDAV?

I remembered from this thread that I use nix not because I really like it but because configuring servers without a declarative system always stresses me out and I guess right now I'm willing to give up a lot of nice things I like (like "being able to understand error messages”) to get a […]

I've diverged from writing OCaml into Rust and Haskell recently, and it's shocking how easy the Rust ecosystem is to use, and how hard the Haskell ecosystem is to use. I'm thinking about things like compiler error messages, build systems and package managers, and LSP servers.
