@avsm I still think we should bring in stedolan’s plan to rename all these functions (especially Obj.magic…) in each release… forcing you to renew your programmatic vows with each upgrade #modesareforlifenotjustforxmas

@claudeai has committed in trunk OCaml! With great power comes great responsibility, and all that...

@kc_srk (Monet and others might disagree with my assertion that repeating the same thing again doesn’t produce great art, of course 😆😉)

[David Allsopp @Altosopp]

@kc_srk The industry doesn’t have the greatest of track records (looking for the least libellous way of writing that!) - but, yeah, beige. It’s all becoming beige - good art doesn’t come out of doing the same thing again and again, or even more in constantly trying to please people!

3 years since I finalised the demo of it for the OCaml Workshop in Ljubljana, Relocatable OCaml is finally submitted for review! 🥳🍾🎊 #ocaml #relocatable

[David Allsopp @Altosopp]

@sabine_s_ Do it (all logistical and financial things equal!) 😊 Some times will be like the near-competitive carol-singing and playing which took place in our house yesterday evening. Some times will be almost literally stapling them to a music stand/chair to practice…
