I guess I skipped "up and running" and opted for "a first hour with ocaml" [1] In my defense, [1] makes no reference to dune, which I am excited to try out. [1] https://ocaml.org/learn/tutorials&#x2F

(Inspired by this post,) I gave the official ocaml tutorial a whirl. I quite enjoyed the syntax, and the easy install (of opam). However, I thought I should mention that I got _exactly_ as far as [0] (found while trying to google a solution

And, by my estimate, Django has been around ~9 years longer than Phoenix. Comparing DjangoPackages[0] and awesome-elixir[1], sure you could say "there's an elixir package for everything", but how battle-tested are they? How w

I am an order of magnitude more productive in Scala, compared to python. The compiler does so much for me, I can focus on just writing my domain. Frankly, I think Scala is just good at exposing weak programmers and teams with poor disciplin

I think DRF Viewsets may be easy to replicate with the help of class based views from fastapi-utils[0] But I agree that Admin is still the missing killer feature from the fastapi ecosystem. But it looks like there is an emerging ORM/Ad

Why would the pronunciation of the equals sign not be "equals"?

This is really interesting. Are there not alternative runtimes, or configurable gc periods? My understanding of the JVM GC is limited, but it seems highly configurable: does it (or other languages/VMs) have an analogous construct, and

Awesome, thanks for confirming! I came across that package, it wasn't clear from the docs if it was intended to be imported on its own -- i'll give it a go!

Many platforms I have seen (Amazon Prime Video comes to mind) use: **** (XX,XXX votes) when displaying ratings (meaning average 4 star rating, for XX,XXX total votes) -- it is succinct and informative.
