06:34 <discocaml> <jobhdez> I want to learn ocaml but since I have a bit of experience with Haskell I think I should keep focusing on Haskell because Haskell has more job prospects. I’m in the US.

06:34 <discocaml> <jobhdez> Is my observation correct or is there similar amount of ocaml jobs?

06:45 <dh`> not a lot of either really

11:45 <discocaml> <Kali> im fairly sure haskell has better job prospects

12:25 <discocaml> <lukstafi> Any idea why my opam `depexts:` could stop working? Debugging a conf package locally. I verified that the filter should trigger via `post-messages`, and that the external dependency is not installed, but it does not try to install it and instead proceeds to building (and then fails).

12:35 <discocaml> <lukstafi> I confirmed this problem on different linux distributions (Ubuntu, Ach Linux).

19:06 <discocaml> <uberpyro181> i really like the way that try ocaml does auto-indentation

19:07 <discocaml> <uberpyro181> would anyone happen to know if there's a vscode extension or anything that has the same behavior

19:07 <discocaml> <uberpyro181> i know there's autoformatters and auto-indenters, maybe one of those can be configured to run on every keystroke, because that's what i like from try ocaml

19:08 <discocaml> <uberpyro181> i really like the way that [try ocaml](<https://try.ocamlpro.com/>) does auto-indentation

19:30 <mccd> Hey, how I want to use the shexp library to run grep

19:30 <mccd> but the regexp I wanna use is "^ \*"

19:31 <mccd> and when running this command, I get a warning that the escape is wrong f ~dir:"/home/mccd/notes-example" ["ugrep"; "-e"; "^ \*"];;

19:32 <mccd> curious if anyone knows how to unescape it properly

19:41 <discocaml> <yawaramin> `"'^ *'"`?

19:44 <mccd> I got it working with `\\` and I had a space too much :))

19:45 <mccd> but another question: Is list something that needs to be imported? Somehow dune utop and my lsp only knows about List.iter

19:46 <mccd> ah another library shadowed them

19:58 <mccd> Well next question: I want to use the bounded split for OCaml, in utop it acts weird though

20:00 <mccd> Running Str.bounded_split (Str.regexp ":") "Some: command :tag:" 1 doesn't work

20:01 <mccd> or rather it doesn't split Some; command :tag:

20:01 <mccd> any other character works though

20:02 <mccd> I notice that putting 2 instead of 1 works, which is very weird
