OCaml 5.3: Features and Fixes!: We have a brand new OCaml release on our hands! 5.3 comes packed with features, fixes, and optimisations, including the return of some ‘familiar faces’. Support for the MSVC port is returning, as is statistical memory profiling now compatible with multicore projects.
Maybe #OCaml is the language I want. You can create standalone binaries with it, right?
Hmm, looks like it's kind of like C by default, meaning you would need shared libraries present on the target system, and unlike C there's no direct support for linking everything statically, though it's possible apparently:
hihiiiiii~ nice to meetcha!!! here's my #introduction post!!
I'm a #trans gal (pronouns: she/her) from the UK (British-Indian to be specific ig)~
I'm also a PhD student (graduating August 2024) working on programming languages research (though I work in formal verification, brain too small :aqua_cry: to understand category theory)
I do a lot of #drawing (see my pfp!!!), like #anime and #manga, esp those with good trans representation + #yuri ofc (recss welcomeee!!). I also play video games, but I suck and my computer is a potat :blobbee_nom_potato: so can't play anything too intensive~ love indie gamess, rpgs esp!!!
Before my egg cracked, I guess I liked #programming and was obsessed with the #OCaml programming language? I even wrote my own #activitypub server in it~ (look up OCamlot!!), Nowadays I guess I like #Racket and #lisp, but tbh I don't do it much outside of work lol
I also do #gamedev on and off in my free time (the bg of my profile is a chara from a game I'm working on), but I've never finished a projectttt cause I keep on procrastinating tooo muchhh :aqua_cry:
Hehee happy to meetchaaa~~ hope to make new frens :NepHappy:
#OCaml is on my list also. I'm also interested in SML, so I found it interesting that all the compilers you mentioned are things I've looked up within the past year or so.
I am Ștefan (ș as sh, I also accept Stephan or the equivalent in your language). I’m 21 years old, ♑, he/him, proud #leftist and soon to graduate CS @ UVABc. Sort of proudly living in #romania. My native language is Romanian, fairly proficient at English, slowly learning #finnish (and #italian).
So delighted to have first-class CO2 emissions metrics integrated into the #OCaml multiarch cluster, thanks to @patricoferris . Next: taking scheduling decisions on big build jobs based on when energy is greenest
Hey #ocaml people (I guess #fsharp and #StandardML peeps are invited too!) What tutorials/resources/books/whatever could you recommend me for making a programming language? (ideally not just a parser, but including the backend bits like optimization and all that)? Of course, in ML or dialects if possible. I am sick and tired of *lox clones from Crafting Interpreters, I want an actual compiler.
I’d also highly appreciate if you could point me to resources that also go through how to create bytecode since that’s what I currently need right now. Other languages are appreciated too. Boost this around if you so wish
