Welcome to a new episode of The Flambda2 Snippets! Today's topic is Loopify, one of Flambda2's many optimisation algorithms which specifically deals with optimising both purely tail-recursive and/or functions annotated with the [@@loop] attribute in OCaml.

CPS Representation and Foundational Design Decisions in Flambda2

In this first post of the Flambda2 Snippets, we dive into the powerful CPS-based internal representation used within the Flambda2 optimizer, which was one of the main motivation to move on from the former Flambda optimizer. Credit goes to Andrew Kennedy's paper Compiling with Continuations, Continue...

OCamlPro’s Liquidity-lang demo at JFLA2018 – a smart-contract design language

As a tradition, we took part in this year's Journées Francophones des Langages Applicatifs (JFLA 2018) that was chaired by LRI's Sylvie Boldo and hosted in Banyuls the last week of January. That was a nice opportunity to present a live demo of a multisignature smart-contract entirely written in th...

We'd like to present you in the same spirit how never to allocate in OCaml. Before starting to write anything, we must know how to find ...
