This morning, Anil proposed that having an opam-repository that didn’t have old versions of the packages that require patches to work with OxCaml would be good.
As @dra27 suggested, I first added support in ocurrent/ocaml-version. I went with the name flambda2, which matched the name in the opam package.
For a long time, we have struggled to match the performance and functionality of runc on Windows. Antonin wrote the Docker-based isolation for ocurrent/obuilder with PR#127, and I wrote machine-level isolation using QEMU PR#195. Sadly, the most obvious approach of using runhcs doesn’t work, see issue#2156.

In the week, Jon mentioned UTM, which uses Apple’s Hypervisor virtualisation framework to run ARM64 operating systems on Apple Silicon. It looked awesome, and the speed of virtualised macOS was fantastic. It also offers x86_64 emulation; we mused how well it would perform running Windows, but found it disappointing.
