On 23 April, Borealis booted in orbit on DPhi Space's ClusterGate-2: a pure-OCaml CCSDS protocol stack with end-to-end-encrypted command and control and post-quantum key rotation. OxCaml is what comes next.
The O in OCaml is for its object-oriented extension, but I needed a way to emulate the constraints of inheritance without it. This raised some interesting design questions about how to do it using only the core ML language.
A few days after retiring opam 2.0 from the build pipeline, ocaml-ci Jon noticed that some jobs were failing. I immediately concluded that the removal was to blame, but it wasn’t.
Get a comprehensive overview of the definitions, benefits, trade-offs, and use cases of functional programming.
Celebrating David Attenborough's 100th birthday at a Conservation Research Institute retreat in Norwich, a Parliament POST briefing on Evidence for Nature Recovery lands, and a TESSERA talk at the Cambridge Ring alumni evening at Jane Street.
The inspiration for this post came from Dave’s Garage YouTube Channel. It featured dbrll/ATTN-11, which used machine learning on a PDP-11 to reverse a sequence of numbers. I’m not (quite) old enough to remember the PDP-11, but the idea of a minimal machine learning example was intriguing, particularly as an aid to understanding.
ocurrent/docker-base-images publishes the ocaml/opam:* Docker images which the OCaml CI systems use. For each distro, it tracks 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, and master opam release branches in parallel and produces both an opam-version-suffixed tag (e.g. debian-13-ocaml-5.4_opam-2.5) and an un-suffixed default that points at the oldest tracked version.
