Hello!

Your support is very much appreciated. By sponsoring me on GitHub you'll have direct impact in allowing me to spend more time working on the open source projects that I currently maintain, including future endeavors.

Specifically, I'm currently interested in:

Working on Melange

Melange is a fork of the ReScript compiler with a focus on compatibility with the wider OCaml ecosystem. A small write-up with more details on the motivation behind this project can be found in this blog post.

Melange's goal is to provide a good experience for doing web development in OCaml and Reason. It inherits the vision from ReScript of great JavaScript output, while accommodating all that the OCaml ecosystem has to offer: a version that tracks the upstream compiler, dune as the de-facto build system and a focus on sharing code with native projects.

Working on the Reason project

I contribute pretty regularly to the Reason parser / pretty printer, which is effectively what the ReasonML language is!

Developing the overall OCaml / Reason web development ecosystem

I'm interested in making the OCaml ecosystem an important player in the web development space. I have recently been working on low-level tools that will allow us to use OCaml / Reason as a language to develop web servers an applications. Part of my ongoing work focuses on:

• h2: an HTTP/2 implementation in pure OCaml that can also run on unikernels via MirageOS!
• piaf: an HTTP library for writing clients and servers in pure OCaml. The piaf client is a high level HTTP client with support for HTTP/1, HTTP/2, redirects, etc.

Working on the AWS Lambda OCaml runtime

AWS has recently opened their Lambda runtime API, making it possible to run any language / language version on AWS Lambda. I developed a runtime for OCaml that makes it possible to run OCaml / Reason code as lambda functions.

More details to follow soon.
