Announcing our part in the CEOs project, creating the next generation of satellites for earth observation.
This week was a grant application, build systems, and code review - which it turns out is somewhere in the Amazon.
Stepping into something different today for a Build Meetup hosted by Tweak, EngFlow and Jane Street at Jane Street’s London offices. I was quite involved with Jbuilder development and early work around Dune 1.0 and some early 2.x work, although it’s not a codebase I get to work on much these days. What was interesting for me, spending a lot of time in GNU make for the compiler, was to get some first-hand “big picture” experience from the talks and also a chance to catch-up with various OCaml people who can be remarkably hard to pin down.
These days a lot of programming languages (especially those leaning towards functional programming) offer a pipeline operator (|>), that allows you to feed some data through a “pipeline” of transformation steps.1 Here’s a trivial example in F#: Funny enough, even Ruby has a pipeline operator these days, although it’s not particularly useful there. ↩
This week consisted of a lot of spinning plates, which is unfortunate because it’s not something I’m very good at!
