All opinions are my own.
That's alright, we all do this sometimes.

I even did it in OCaml

I mean, 460K people signed the petition to repeal the law, and the government be like "No".

I don't believe in petitions.

I looked through it briefly, and it looks amazing!

I don't do much OCaml nowadays, but maybe I'll find time this weekend to suggest anything meaningful. I might even have some context 😅

It's definitely an improvement

Challenges help with the growth.
They also help you feel alive.

I was never the lead of the Bloomberg OCaml community, more like a PR person.

I don't know anyone's account on bsky tho 🤔

But you're not wrong :)

Bloomberg has a significant codebase and a huge number of teams in C++
July 24, 2025 at 5:47 PM
Thanks for the reminder!

Updating the bio everywhere turned out to be quite troublesome...

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain

Don't worry, we have plenty of Fortran at Bloomberg
July 23, 2025 at 6:02 PM
I am, just not active here.

Although today ,in particular, I feel like shit 🤒

Modern C++ is surpsisingly functional

When I was studying at uni, I programmed in Java, C++, C, Python, Kotlin, and Julia. The language didn't matter much; I used what worked best for me.

I feel like I'm finally returning to that mental state.
July 23, 2025 at 6:00 PM
As you noticed, I'm not that active here.
But I do post C++ content on X
July 23, 2025 at 5:59 PM
It is fun! I'm enjoying C++ more than I expected
July 23, 2025 at 5:59 PM
True. I feel like I was stagnating and not learning anything new.

Now I experience a lot of growth (both personal and career).
July 23, 2025 at 8:20 AM
Don't worry about that too much!

I'm not active on GitHub TUI atm, and since it's not opam, not having an upgrade shouldn't really affect things.

Creating an issue with the link to the changelog is good enough!

It’s possible 👀
