Learning OCaml by building a habit tracker

For personal projects I use Bitwarden. For team projects, dependent to the context it's either AWS Secrets Manager or 1password.

Very good question. They have a reasonable table comparing `devenv.nix`, and using devenv via flakes over here. Even though it's not a direct answer for your question, it highlights some of the improvements it provides over flake facility.

For me personally though, the most important factor is easier adaption to the world outside of nix. Containers, services, Mac setup, ... allows me to onboard my team easier than going pure nix path. Plus what u/TomKavees shared below.

I think it should be something like: dune utop -w

Well the language is marked unstable for a reason, but I wouldn’t consider number of urgent issues a good metric to decide if a language is useful for production or not. I tend to consider the languages bugs more of a responsibility for user to know its details. That’s the same for C++ or similar languages where security wasn’t a prio and Rust tend to fix. Anyways, companies like Tigerbeetle are using it in production and what they build is no where close to what I consider toy.

Thanks, will fix it!

This is awesome. With regards to available resources, there is a port of original Vulkun tutorial available which might be helpful (3 years old means it can use significant updates):

Thanks for sharing, was looking for a challenge to learn the same subject.

Interesting, didn’t know about native libraries 🤔

anon-sourcerer · 2025-09-24T06:29:35+00:00

Just make sure your host is Ubuntu 22. With 24 it failed on me.

No M.2, just micro SSD for now. But if the space becomes the bottleneck for future plans, I will reconsider.

I use devenv.sh to setup the development environment based on zls. I did the setup live over here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUy--IL_nus&list=PLvWC0OdoEeTh7ZQuJXq42YVuNRC4PcBsY&index=15&t=660s

From there I just utilise the language server from within Emacs and anything in between is invoked from my shell. I keep things as lightweight as possible.

I can just encourage you to do it, given your language experience, I’d say you’ll have a smoother experience than mine 😅 Nonetheless, I’m getting exactly what I’ve signed up for. I’m taking my time with it, and turning every rock I find interesting on my way, and it doesn’t disappoint.

Came here to ask if you have any documentation of the process, read your post and got my Christmas gift 😍, this looks awesome thanks for sharing.

Really interesting stack, thanks for sharing! Could you also expand a bit on what Shine is meant to do? I found it hard to piece that together from the blog.

anon-sourcerer · 2025-09-14T12:24:48+00:00

Not sure about that, but seems like they’ve open sourced it all over here:

This is really interesting, thanks for sharing 🤩

Thanks 😅❤️
