Hadn’t thought about publishing it there. Once I’ve done the editing I’ll share a link to it.

I would keep the distributed process section, as there’s not really an equivalent Actor library in Haskell. The section on exceptions in Haskell is wonderful. More coverage on GPUs and patterns for building concurrent applications.

Congratulations! I know you’ve been working on this for some time.

This is cool. However I’ve never had an invite to the lobster site. Can anyone hook me up with one?

Exactly. This is why I want frame pointers for OCaml and to introduce a stable USDT interface for the GC. Do you have a write up on how you did that?

Interesting! I expect there are other corners that will be problematic like effects that I haven’t thought about. Right now I’m focusing on the GC and seeing what useful things can get out of that.

You can implement multishot continuations as a library in OCaml. github.com/dhil/ocaml-m...

Honestly it an accumulation of knowledge over time. Either reading books or source code or building my own version of something to understand how it works.

I think that’s accurate. Sometimes I’m writing assembly for codegen or fixing DWARF CFI, sometimes OCaml and recently I’ve been writing debugger support in C++.

Debugging support for macOS is improved with accurate backtraces, more improvements coming in 5.4 like frame pointers and tweaked name mangling scheme so you can set breakpoints in OCaml code.

Staring from github.com/xclerc/ocaml... it couldn’t be more than a few weekends. Update to 4.14 and then a few fixes to move onto 5. 🤣

Indeed I am. Please ping me with any issues.
