Reason (https://reasonml.github.io/) is the JS like syntax for OCaml. ReScript is a fork that explicitly removes the connection to OCaml and focuses on JavaScript output.

PHP getting a pipe operator with ways to implement a Maybe Monad was definitely not on my 2025 bingo card.

But any changes making mainstream languages more functional are highly welcome! It’s just more ergonomic than imperative code.

I’ve had all my personal projects in Dropbox for years without any problems.

I tried the same with Google Drive at work and had lots of issues, but recently it seems to have stabilized.

I think it would be better to use a an existing programming language for CAD so that the LLM has more training data already.

Therefore im working on LuaCAD (https://github.com/ad-si/LuaCAD), which is a Lua frontend for OpenSCAD.

I'm working on https://ad-si.github.io/LuaCAD/

LuaCAD is a scripting library which uses OpenSCAD as engine to create 2D and 3D models. The OpenSCAD language itself is quite limited and has several issues and Lua is much better suited for the job!

So if you're interested in programmatic CAD, please check it out!

My new go-to language for any calculations is https://numbat.dev.

It’s a statically typed programming language for scientific computations with first class support for physical dimensions and units.

Great ergonomics and a pleasure to use!

Sounds cool! How is this different than https://asciimath.org?

PureScript! https://www.purescript.org/

In my opinion currently the best solution if you want to write frontend and backend in the same language!

Elm is not dead. Here some recent commits: https://github.com/search?q=stars%3A%3E1+language%3Aelm&type...

Since Elm compiles to JavaScript, all the new development features from JavaScript, HTML, and CSS are also instantly available in Elm. I.e. it's not necessary to change Elm all the time to keep it up to date with the web platform. For non-stop Elm content check out all the communities at https://elm-lang.org/community

I created a list of all companies that hire for jobs with functional programming languages. I know you all would prefer working with your favorite FP language, but I guess any FP job would still be preferable over a Java job!

This is just plain wrong. SQLite supports concurrent read connections and concurrent write operations if you activate WAL mode (https://sqlite.org/wal.html). Admin and analysis tasks are probably even easier to do: Just ssh into the server and run the sqlite3 CLI command analyse / edit your databases (https://sqlite.org/cli.html).

Nice! I tried to achieve a similar design with my plain text accounting tool Transity: https://github.com/ad-si/Transity

But this seems to have more programming language like features if I understand correctly. What else is different?

If you want something a little faster, I developed cai:

https://github.com/ad-si/cai

Implemented in Rust and using the fastest LLM (Groq) per default.

I wasn't happy with Taskwarrior, so I started to develop my own CLI task manager called "TaskLite" a few years ago. Here is the comparison page:

I'm about to release a new version with a lot of improvements the coming weeks.

If you don't mind using Deno instead of Node, it's integrated Jupyter Kernel makes it really easy: https://docs.deno.com/runtime/manual/tools/jupyter/

Related: SQLiteDAV - WebDAV server that maps an SQLite database to directories/files.

https://github.com/Airsequel/SQLiteDAV

Heynote was exactly developed for this purpose. Just one big buffer with sections and lots of shortcuts and nice little additional features: https://heynote.com/

Can somebody please define a specification on how to store emails in SQLite? Seems to be the only sensible approach if you ask me.

You might also enjoy following flashcard deck I built. It’s based on the official book.

Working on it! => https://www.airsequel.com

Can second this!

However, I would recommend the open source https://solvespace.com! It hits a sweet spot between features vs complexity/learning effort. (And as a programmer I dig the terminal aesthetics)

In this interview, Robert Playter actually says, that the new electronic Atlas is stronger than the old hydraulic one:

Hi, author here: I know it’s been a while since the last release, but I’m currently working on a new version. So stay tuned! =)

Thanks for the good suggestions! I added tracking issues at https://github.com/ad-si/tu/issues.

I'd be very happy about a PR! ;-)

Glad you like it! =)

It's supposed to be usable "inline", so it shouldn't print a newline. (E.g. `touch note-$(tu yesterday).md`)

Some terminals have an option to still write the $ prompt to the next line and use an enter symbol (⏎) to signify that no newline was printed.

I've been preaching to use a simpler accounting system for years and even built my own tool for it: https://github.com/ad-si/Transity

But so far with little success. I think I’m the only active user of Transity.

FYI: We're offering a SQLite hosting service which automatically creates a full-fledged GraphQL endpoint for your database: https://www.airsequel.com

I'm building a hosting platform / system for SQLite databases at https://www.airsequel.com. Just like you we discovered that for many (most?) use-cases SQLite is the better database. Ordinary projects / companies don't have "webscale" requirements and they are better off with a system that is fast, simple, low resource, and easy to deploy and manage.

You just need to set busy_timeout > 0, and you'll basically never have database locked situations. It's just unfortunate, that it's not activated per default: https://sqlite.org/forum/info/7e456bf5544ab128
