Going live in 10 minutes, working on adding Markdown output in odoc. It's almost done (the kind of "almost done" that you don't say to your PM)
twitch [dot] tv aaaand emelletv

somehow @leostera@_anmonteiro@teej_dv@dillon_mulroy@emil_priver@wonbyte and many more joined and raided me or whatever and we were 500 nerds doing SSG in OCaml

See you!
Today we have another episode of emelletv!
We will chat with one of the founders of @terrateamio about building a startup with OCaml, what are the challenges, and what they are building (something something terraform, ci/cd something)
Lets meet Malcom today 19:00 (CEST)
It's perfect (for eu people) to open a beer, push to prod (not release/under a feature flag) and enjoy a conversation with the caravan (OCaml gang) (same thing)

Lots of people ask why OCaml is suddenly trending. So quick recap according to my understanding.
1. @teej_dv learns about OCaml from cool folks and decides to solve Adventure of Code with it. Being an influencer, he shares his experience with lots of people.
2. @davesnx implements React in OCaml giving the language another boost.
3. @_anmonteiro announces Melange which is OCaml on frontend. This is an amazing milestone!
4. Awesome folks like @yawaramin@welltypedwitch@ElucidationsPod always helped by answering OCaml questions and now they have even more work, giving the language more exposure and spreading more love about friendly OCaml folks.
5. Somewhere around this time, completely unaware of all this, I find a new job in OCaml at Bloomberg, and I post more about it because the language is great and the community is super friendly 💛
6. @sabine_s_ enters the chat and dunks the entire X crowd with awesome OCaml memes. And with great improvements to the OCaml documentation as well but people mostly notice memes.
7. All this happens while OCaml is having the time of the life. New 5.0.0 release with multicore support is being dropped, OCaml gets a prestigious Sigplan award, build tooling is getting great thanks to ‘dune’, docs are getting better, and so on.
8. @teej_dv nags @ThePrimeagen just enough, so we get another influencer posting about OCaml because why not post about a trendy subject.
9. @dillon_mulroy streams about OCaml and lots of people actually see this great language in action.
10. @htmx_org decides to be htmx and before Bun got released, OCaml enjoys a good flow of mentions from “not a frontend framework”.
11. People see lots of OCaml mentions in their feeds and ask why it’s trending.
12. This turns into self-fulfilling prophecy and people see OCaml even more in their feeds.
At least this is what I see from my bubble.
Q.E.D.
Now that OCaml is trendy each day of the week on here, join us to learn from the experts
They say OCaml is good to write a parser. Today we will have @yurug talk about menhir (the famous parser generator) and Tezos (the biggest OSS codebase).
