As someone who is not deep into type theory or functional programming, can you please explain why you mean by “ergonomic overloading”?

My understanding is that ocaml mitigates the need for type classes through its more advanced module system. So far I have been enjoying the use of OCaml modules, so I’m curious what exactly I’m missing out on, if any.

Thanks for taking the time to talk with me btw!

What are your thoughts on this comparison? https://github.com/sidkshatriya/me/blob/master/007-My-Thoughts-on-OCaml-vs-Haskell-Rust-2023.md

Tell us more about unison

I know double semicolons are a thing, but I’ve never had to use them. I forget what they’re for, but yeah it’s supposed to be an escape hatch for something that shouldn’t be happening iirc.

The curried snd uncurried functions… Maybe you are confusing with SML, because everything in ocaml is curried by default. Though admittedly the standard library could be more complete, but I personally am happy to use third party dependencies for less common things.

Its best to use a protocol that doesn’t allow unencrypted messages

This is an implementation thing and not a protocol thing. What protocol doesn’t allow unencrypted messages? I am sure signal’s protocol would still allow it, it’s just that the implementation doesn’t.

And same for XMPP. Just go with the implementation that doesn’t.

Sad I had to scroll to the end to see this.

Ocaml is brilliant and has the nicest type features. It’s almost like Haskell but more approachable imo.

Striking terror in the hearts of genocidal invaders is a good thing yeah

Unless you pay from the exchange’s wallet

Very much the same. I was terrified of regex, now I love it

This is actually exactly what I asked for, thank you!!

The appeal for json and yaml is readability, and partially ease of parsing. I say s-expressions win over both in both aspects.

Can you please expand on your references to no-sql and your reference to “lightweight markup”? I don’t quite understand what you meant there.

What’s so good about it?

I never really quite understood IPFS and why it gets used where I see it today. What problem is it solving?

Sounds like clickbait

It’s funny that I can’t tell if you mean KSA or USA

So what is the benefit for the common person, now?

donetick.com

I know someone who’s literally making that right now. Remind me in a week, I’ll send you the link. He’ll probably be done by then.

Edit: donetick.com

We’re pretty far from being able to automate everything
