Highlights include a novel method for zero- and few-shot biomedical named entity recognition using transformers, OBatcher for simplifying batch-parallel data structures in OCaml, a guide to avoiding ML research pitfalls, a new data quality metric called the diversity coefficient, and insights into GPU-to-GPU communication in supercomputers. 46 2. 2 [](/posts/goblint-cil-c-intermediate-language-gszxmj5jk "goblint/cil: C Intermediate Language") Article Lobsters · 2y goblint/cil: C Intermediate Language CIL is a front-end for C that facilitates program analysis and transformation by compiling it into a simplified subset of C. Goblint-cil is a fork of CIL that supports modern C standards (C99 and C11) and GNU C extensions. It improves upon CIL by adding compatibility with modern OCaml versions, using Zarith for integer constants, improved location handling, and various bug fixes. Installation can be done using opam, and goblint-cil can be used both as a compiler and a library. 11 3. 3 [](/posts/dream-tidy-feature-complete-web-framework-umc4wslzg "Dream — Tidy, feature-complete web framework") Article Community Picks · 3y Dream — Tidy, feature-complete web framework Dream is an easy-to-use, boilerplate-free web framework with support for TLS, WebSockets, and GraphQL. It has a flat namespace, aims for maximal clarity, and supports base OCaml types. Dream supports routing using the Dream.router function. 10 1 4. 4 [](/posts/octane-a-query-builder-for-ocaml-uyureamiv "Octane: A Query Builder for OCaml") Video TJ DeVries · 2y Octane: A Query Builder for OCaml Octane is an OCaml library designed for constructing type-safe SQL queries, offering a more confident interaction with databases. Unlike traditional ORMs or Active Record patterns, Octane focuses on maintaining the typic safety inherent in OCaml, ensuring that operations like creating tables, inserting records, and writing queries are reliable and less error-prone. The library turns SQL strings into type-safe OCaml functions, enhancing developer confidence and reducing runtime errors. 10 1 5. 5 [](/posts/gleam-is-pragmatic-ye7iryxry "Gleam is Pragmatic") Article Lobsters · 2y Gleam is Pragmatic Gleam is a pragmatic functional programming language that combines the best features of Haskell and OCaml while mitigating their downsides. It offers use expressions for callback-style APIs, structural equality for all types, and lacks ad-hoc polymorphism. Gleam's syntax is clean and explicit, with strong typing, optional type annotations, first-class functions, and exhaustive pattern matching. The language targets both BEAM and JavaScript, making it versatile for different platforms. 10 6. 6 [](/posts/how-ocaml-is-different-from-other-languages--dguqrhseh "How OCaml is different from other languages?") Article Community Picks · 3y How OCaml is different from other languages? Brief intro to OCaml, focusing on its expression-oriented nature, immutability, type inference, and recursion. 10 2 [See all OCaml archives](/tags/ocaml/best-of) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/tags/ocaml/best-of/2024#page","url":"https://daily.dev/tags/ocaml/best-of/2024","name":"Best OCaml Posts of 2024","description":"The most upvoted OCaml posts of 2024, curated by the daily.dev community.","isPartOf":{"@type":"WebSite","url":"https://daily.dev"}},{"@type":"ItemList","@id":"https://daily.dev/tags/ocaml/best-of/2024#items","numberOfItems":6,"itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/top-ml-papers-of-the-week-x7bgpy1jl","name":"🥇Top ML papers of the week"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/goblint-cil-c-intermediate-language-gszxmj5jk","name":"goblint/cil: C Intermediate Language"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/dream-tidy-feature-complete-web-framework-umc4wslzg","name":"Dream — Tidy, feature-complete web framework"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/octane-a-query-builder-for-ocaml-uyureamiv","name":"Octane: A Query Builder for OCaml"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/gleam-is-pragmatic-ye7iryxry","name":"Gleam is Pragmatic"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":6,"url":"https://daily.dev/posts/how-ocaml-is-different-from-other-languages--dguqrhseh","name":"How OCaml is different from other languages?"}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Tags","item":"https://daily.dev/tags"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"OCaml","item":"https://daily.dev/tags/ocaml"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Best of","item":"https://daily.dev/tags/ocaml/best-of"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"name":"2024"}]}]} ```
