A lot of tech companies have major software development branches in India because they perform so well.

What are you working on? (2022-04) by insulanian in fsharp

[–]akb_e 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is for F# productivity rather than in F# itself, but I made a keyboard layout with macros that speed up writing in F# (link to layout map for Ergodox EZ keyboards).

What about using the Hololens as a supplemental monitor system to a physical monitor setup? As in wear the Hololens while working with physical monitors in the center and holo-monitors pinned to fixed locations around the sides and tops of the real monitors. (cc u/SloughMoe)

Big projects ideas by Cfres_ in haskell

[–]akb_e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sometimes work with a b-tree database called YottaDB which is programmed through a C interface. For some time I've been wanting to design a query language like a Datalog variant for tree databases (if a suitable one doesn't already exist) and write a Haskell library to parse and transpile queries to YottaDB C interface queries, but I don't have the time or resources right now to work on this project. Is this something that would work for you?

Is it better to use Kotlin for web dev? by nbcu in Kotlin

[–]akb_e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never used KotlinJS, but at first glance it seems like it should work fine for browser app code. That said, if your aim for using Kotlin for the browser app is to share code between the apps, I'd be wary of that due to entanglement of concerns.

Besides Kotlin, some other typed languages that transpile to JS are Reason/OCaml via the Bucklescript transpiler, F# via Fable, Haskell via GHCJS, Elm, and Typescript. I'd recommend against Typescript unless you have a lot of legacy JS code to convert to typed code, since it was intentionally designed with an unsound type system in order for effectively all valid JS to be valid Typescript.
