wanted an extremly barebones setup to write ocaml + react (to js), perhaps it can be useful for someone else :) or ”get up and running with ocaml + react.js in under a minute”

Been trying to find a functional, type-safe way to define user habits (behavior over time) in a “formal” way, like some kind of rules engine.

Or am I missing vernacular to find something that already exists in research?

Please note: FP and Category Theory noob.

has anyone done ocaml on a raspberry pi or should i just use something else?

Hey OCaml people. Why do you see OCaml on the rise versus other ml languages?

What advantages do y'all see to it versus things like haskell etc?

Have you ever heard of people running React natively on the server?

That's the talk I gave on @fun-ocaml.com!

*Universal React in OCaml*

Showcasing Melange, server-reason-react, and a bit of quickjs.ml

ThePimagean and teej have been streaming for 2 days, creating an app with mlx, OCaml and react.

It feels great to see them using some tech I wrote and other coworkers made (ejem @andreypopp.bsky.social)

It's probably nothing, but maybe the club will increase its size?!
