OCaml Weekly News

Nomadic Labs is currently looking for students with an interest in functional programming for internships that would take place in our offices in Paris or Grenoble.

We have a catalog of internships topics available at [1] The internships topics are mainly addressed to master student but other well motivated application will be considered.

A first selection phase on received résumé will occur on december 15th. Please contact us at contact@nomadic-labs.com by specifying which topics in the catalog you're interested in.

Found on Lobste.rs: Mark Karpov writes yet another Haskell vs. OCaml for old time's sake. I found it worth a read and a mention here.

p.s. He spends a bit of time in the intro lamenting the lack of a conventional Unicode string library for OCaml, and I feel that pain acutely, especially since I'm the author of an unconventional one, i.e. the Ucs_text module in my Orsetto project.

The OUPS meetup is back. The next one will take place on Wednesday, December 18, 7pm at IRILL on the Jussieu campus. As usual, we will have a few talks, followed by pizzas and drinks.

The talks will be the following:

• Nathan Rebours, The future of OCaml-PPX
• Guillaume Claret, coq-of-ocaml (https://clarus.github.io/coq-of-ocaml/)

And possibly a third talk. Contact us if you want to present something, especially if you have a small project you want to show in 10-15min.

To register, or for more information, go here: https://www.meetup.com/ocaml-paris/events/267019458

Registration is required! Access is not guaranteed after 7pm if you're not registered. (It also helps us to order the right amount of food.)
