08:07 <discocaml> <purefunctor> ~~woops, that's not the search bar~~

11:34 <Anarchos> is there a roadmap to add native compilers back on trunk for other platforms ?

15:51 <discocaml> <davesnx> I'm trying to find a good library for benchmarking code, running a function with 5, 10, 100, 1000, etc params and analyze the results. Found core_bench (JaneStreet), bechamel (which is still proof-of-concept) and some others that don't use dune.

15:51 <discocaml> <davesnx>

15:51 <discocaml> <davesnx> What people use for benchmarking? Can also be not micro-benchmarking funtions and also exes.

15:57 <companion_cube> for .exe you can use hyperfine

16:30 <Anarchos> DA-OCAML seems a bit outdated as a book. What more recent book do you advise ?

16:35 <companion_cube> what is DA-OCAML?

16:39 <Anarchos> developement of application with ocaml

16:39 <Anarchos> https://www-apr.lip6.fr/~chaillou/Public/DA-OCAML/

16:39 <discocaml> <anurag_soni> Core_bench is pretty nice

16:45 <companion_cube> :DDD yeah ok this seems a bit aged

16:46 <companion_cube> https://www-apr.lip6.fr/~chaillou/Public/DA-OCAML/book-ora188.html#toc278 … like, telnet, yep

16:47 <companion_cube> Objective CAML 2.99 <---- woaaah

16:53 <Anarchos> companion_cube :)

16:53 <Anarchos> companion_cube th'ats why i wanted to be referred to a more recent book with dune and a decent version of ocaml

17:03 <discocaml> <davesnx> Probably but `opam install core_bench` `module X = Core_bench.Std` and Unbound module :/

17:03 <discocaml> <davesnx> so I went with benchamel

17:10 <Anarchos> i will do a package delicious_bech.

17:41 <discocaml> <JM> What kind of book are you looking for? General OCaml book or something more specific?

17:41 <discocaml> <JM> https://ocaml.org/books should have anything modern

17:41 <discocaml> <JM> "OCaml From the Very Beginning" is a nice intro that assumes no previous background

17:47 <discocaml> <JM> @davesnx What's in `Core_bench.Std`

17:47 <discocaml> <JM> I think the last time around I used `Core_bench.Bench`

17:50 <Anarchos> JM i have a pretty good background, having begun with caml light in 99...

17:51 <Anarchos> JM i need a book with a whole industrial project in mind : dune, tests, profiling, and so on

17:52 <Anarchos> when use class or modules, how to write good interfaces (never could grasp type +'a t / type -'a t)

17:52 <discocaml> <davesnx> Sure, fixed that and found 2 more problems

17:53 <discocaml> <davesnx> I avoid using JS libraries since you either buy-in everything or you fall into the trap of trying to fix one-of dependency conflict after the other

17:57 <discocaml> <JM> Anarchos: Damn, beat me by 3 years on the caml light bandwagon...

17:57 <discocaml> <JM> that sounds like RWO, or at least it's the closest, but see davesnx complain above about using JS libs (which I share)

18:18 <Anarchos> JM sorry i began in 'classes préparatoires' so in 1995

18:23 <Anarchos> ocaml tests ---> Fatal error: unknown C primitive `caml_drop_continuation'

18:43 <discocaml> <dinosaure> Even if we explain that bechamel is a proof of concept 🙂 many people use it and the only way to improve it is to test and give some feedbacks.
