writing parseff is mega fun this is a parser for a key/value (with utf8 support)

a pull request out of the blue 10 minutes after I publish in ocaml discord... just feels nice

David Sancho @david.sancho.dev · 20/03/2026

and it comes with great documentation davesnx.github.io/parseff + guides that teach a concept at a time. I hope it's helpful to you.

Parseff, a parser combinator library for OCaml 5

Parser combinators are great until your code becomes operator soup `>>=` `<|>` `<<=`

BREAKING (nothing is broken): I just deployed a new html_of_jsx documentation site build with mlx, yocaml (@xvw.lol) and ochre (for the syntax highlight, still wip). That's what's possible with doc-markdown and odoc 🎊

David Sancho @david.sancho.dev · 06/03/2026

who said you can't have nice documentation in OCaml?

me (to my friends who don't understand ai): you should always validate gipiti's answers, security matters alot, blabla also me: don't even read the output by whisperflow, --dangerously-skip-permissions, no plan mode, accept any code change without reading, not even a in git, auto deploy to prod

I really want to have my monitor floating in an arm like this one, but... is there any that isn't ugly as shit? Looking for one that can hide cables, doesn't look so industrial, and is visually more linear. Does it exist? x.com/indoorheart...

Yes, LLMs make you more productive when you know exactly what has to be done

The time has arrived, styled-ppx won't support ReScript v11/v12 going forward Incompatible ppxlib, massive maintenance work and uncertainty about the future of ppx are enough reasons to pull the trigger Melange and native OCaml remain fully supported 😭😭😭

I built my own JavaScript runtime in OCaml I wanted to see how far OCaml could go against Bun and Node, and also also OCaml vs zig vs c++ in similar APIs. So I built `sirocco`. Uses JavaScriptCore (same engine as Bun and Safari). Event loop with libuv and it's written in OxCaml.

most people argue that type-checking CSS is irrelevant (poor souls!), but when I can later atomize, minify, and extract the CSS at build time (ultra-fast) to reduce the bundle size to a minimum... THEN everyone's suddenly interested in this CSS-thingy

styled-ppx comes with its own CSS Parser and type-checker, so you can write CSS and be sure it will be valid and all types will be correct. This is a huge time-saver when working at a large scale with CSS.
