Cover for the book "Building a Debugger" from No Starch Press. A robot sits at a drafting table drawing a complex machine. In the top-right corner of the table, there is a post-it note with a bug drawn on it and crossed out
The cover for my book on how debuggers work is here!

how it started how its going
It's not common practice but I think mostly for historical reasons. Now that we have (include_subdirs qualified), you should be able to do it easily. See dune.readthedocs.io/en/stable/re...
Maybe it just sucks
I'm not the first to speak badly about dune
How common is it to create multiple folders in /lib coding OCaml?
I'm asking because defining a new dune file for each new folder is annoying, and I don't know if it is annoying because it's an anti-pattern or if it just sucks
And building values with it is better too. In Go to make the same code you'll need to use iota - and it just sucks tbh
Anyone can understand this code even knowing nothing about ADTs or OCaml.
Ok I really liked ADTs
It's just easier to understand what is happening compared with my past Go implementation
My article “8 months of OCaml after 8 years of Haskell in production” is by far my most successful.
It’s interesting to ponder why, but I had pretty good expectations from the start myself.

I'm usually not a big transition fan, but I liked it
Working on AOC 1, on Teika, the parsing took me some time, I still need to write the sort.
Doing things without a stdlib and infix operators is a pain. But it's been interesting.
But, I need to connect the typer, doing it without type checking is a massive pain.
Gleam v1.6.3 is out now, with a fix for compiling on older versions of Erlang/OTP

(day1 is already like, really hard for this sort of thing so not sure how much i'm going to be able to do this time ^^)
