<lukstafi> How does one install documentation? I'm surprised that github search `_build/default/_doc/_html/index.html path:**/dune` returns empty; but people use things like `cp -r _build/default/_doc/_html/* ${DOCDIR}/doc/dev/` (shell) or `cp -r _build/default/_doc/_html/* ${DOCDIR}/doc/dev/` (makefile).

<froyo> was `#` made right-associative to disallow the "chaining" pattern?

<tjammer> The main problem here is that the ctypes library, which the bindings are based on, doesn't work with js_of_ocaml. I'd imagine one would need to create another set of bindings for js, which then internally call the emscripten-compiled raylib library.
<discocaml>
<tjammer> I wanted to at least do a hello world using this approach but never got around to it.
<discocaml>
<Marc> Something like ocaml calling javascript functions which are themselves mapped to the C library compiled with emscripten?
<discocaml>
<tjammer> I was thinking two sets of bindings; one for ocaml native and one for js
<discocaml>
<tjammer> I don't think there's an easy solution

<ilo Kali> there's a tyxml library that allows you to generate HTML/SVGs, a webserver library called Dream, and a javascript transpiler
<discocaml>
<ilo Kali> you could theoretically write an entire website in OCaml
<technomancy>
why theoretically
<discocaml>
<Max Korp (Frisk)> Our entire business web app, internal web app, and both mobile apps are built in reasonml, but you could clearly do that with ocaml just as well

I mean... Yeah? Clearly
<companion_cube>
I have a (server rendered) little website about some logic stuff that's entirely ocaml

the idea that it might somehow not be possible is certainly ... an odd one
<companion_cube>
idk if anyone ever dreamt of a site fully in Java or C++, tbh

Without a healthy level of expressiveness for writing html as combinators (or jsx), it's a bit of a nightmare

There is also ocsigen/eliom for multi-tier web framework; and the late Besport aka a social network written in OCaml

(ofc my website is 100% CCWheel but there are more robust ways indeed)
<companion_cube>
it's part of the ocsigen/eliom stack :)
<discocaml>
<lukstafi> js_of_ocaml plus a web worker is also a way to write "full stack" web programs where you don't need to run a server (it just runs on someone's computer). But I guess that doesn't count as a website.

<cemerick> all of ocaml.org is written in OCaml AFAIK; my current startup is *almost* all OCaml, from the non-web algorithmic bits up to the web frontend
<discocaml>
<cemerick> those are obviously two very particular examples; that's just to say, web dev in OCaml is much more than possible ;-P
<discocaml>
<ilo Kali> i am aware it was possible, just knew no examples of anyone doing it
<discocaml>
<ilo Kali> however, now i do
<discocaml>

<lagarto> If I do something like this in my main routine:
<discocaml>
<lagarto> ```ocaml
<discocaml>
<lagarto> let data = allocate_big_thing () in
<discocaml>
<lagarto> (* more code using/building data *)
<discocaml>
<lagarto> let final = finalize_data_in_better_format data in
<discocaml>
<lagarto> (* from here there's no more references to "data" *)
<discocaml>
<lagarto> (* lots of code, calls, loops etc *)
<discocaml>
<lagarto> (* whole program never returns from this function *)
<discocaml>
<lagarto> ```
<discocaml>
<lagarto> The whole program is going to run forever theoretically with "data" in scope, never referred to again.
<discocaml>
<lagarto>
<discocaml>
<lagarto> How reliable is it that ocaml will be sure not to store the foo pointer on the stack or anywhere the garbage collector can see it and erroneously think it's alive? (I ask in part because unlike java or whatever I obviously can't assign null to it ...)

<lagarto> Or I guess also "is it reliable" ... if it's not, maybe this style of code is just a memory leak?
