We believe that Tezos will drive social, political and economic innovation on a global scale.

We are pleased to announce the release of a second release candidate for opam 2.0.0. This new version brings us very close to a final 2.0.0 release, and in addition to many fixes, features big performance enhancements over the RC1. Among the new features, we have squeezed in full sandboxing of packa...

For the next few months I will be working on Irmin, focusing on improving general usability. The goal of this effort is to make Irmin more accessible to potential users and clean up the rough edges for existing users. One of the biggest problems I see right now is that the documentation is out of sync with the current implementation. I’ve just been getting starting refreshing the documentation and tutorials, however here are a few more projects that @samoht and I have discussed: Better RPC AP...

Did you know that Jane Street uses OCaml for, like, everything? Did you also know that Jane Street builds FPGA designs? A problem? Come and find out how we design and test our FPGAs. We'll have some fun (or terrible disasters) with some demos on the Arty A7 hobbyist FPGA board, with the design expressed using HardCaml, an OCaml library for creating hardware designs, and driven by an embedded software stack written in OCaml and using ports of your favorite Jane Street libraries. I'll round up with some thoughts on the pros and cons of writing hardware in OCaml, and talk about some ideas we would like to explore to make the process more productive in the future. Presented by: Andy Ray Andy has been designing IP cores for nearly 20 years mainly in the areas of networking and video coding. Frustration with standard RTL development processes led him to develop the HardCaml suite of hardware design tools in OCaml. Then one day while down at the pub he got an email from Jane Street wondering about some sort of collaboration, and the rest is history.
