9:25ENRichard Eisenberg: Using OCaml’s Coercion OperatorRichard Eisenberg · Jane StreetA practical tour of subtyping, polymorphic variants and private type abbreviations, with no runtime conversion cost.
8:06ENHow OCaml's Proposed Include Functor Syntax Reduces RepetitionA reverse-array example shows how to derive common module functions from a minimal implementation without an extra wrapper module.
11:28ENOCaml Local Types: Regional Parameters and Loop RegionsA demonstration explains why some local parameters can cross a function boundary and how loop regions reclaim allocations.
9:14ENOCaml Local Function Types: Why Partial Application Can EscapeRichard Eisenberg · Jane StreetRichard Eisenberg uses a list-append example to show how a local argument changes the mode of a partially applied function in Jane Street’s OCaml compiler branch.
3:30ENRichard Eisenberg on Jane Street's OCaml ExperimentsRichard Eisenberg · Jane StreetJane Street's compiler team is exploring unboxed types, locality modes, and data-race-free parallelism to make OCaml's performance and memory management better suited to its needs.
11:07ENHow OCaml Locals Use a Separate StackA list example shows how region-scoped local values can avoid repeated garbage-collected allocations.
12:52ENOCaml Local Variables, Return Values and RegionsA worked example shows how `local_` and `exclave_` let a function accept a local value and return a local structure in its caller's region.
8:52ENIntroducing Local Parameters in OCamlA demonstration of how Jane Street's experimental local mode restricts escaping values and makes function interfaces easier to reason about.
