Compiler Development: Rust or OCaml?
As someone who wrote a fair amount of Rust and OCaml code, I have to agree with the author.
While working at Routine (YC W21), I was tasked with porting our core library to iOS to minimize code duplication. This was a lucky opportunity to write something resembling a compiler: it took in schemas described with our in-house data exchange library and generated C (for FFI) and Swift code (for the end-users, i.e., iOS developers).
Since Routine uses OCaml for everything (which was a big motivator for joining the company—I wanted to see how that would work out), I wrote it in OCaml. The end result is a 3-5k LOC project. It's by no means a full compiler, but it was lots of fun to write. The language got in the way incredibly rarely. On average, it made my life a lot easier.
We did encounter our fair share of issues, mostly due to the cross-compilation tooling (we initially used esy [1], flirted with Nix, and eventually switched to opam-cross-ios [2]), third-party libraries, and intricacies of FFI. Those do take their toll on sanity.

OCaml 5.0 release (including multicore and effects)
What's the current status of Esy? https://github.com/esy/esy
Any plans to backport its design back to Opam?

2021 at OCamlPro
It's great to hear that Opam is making progress! I just wished that it would be more deeply integrated with Dune. A package manager that doesn't build is not very useful to be honest. Currently the only way to not have to care about switches and be able to clearly specify dependencies is to use the esy package manager[1] (which had lock files a while ago).

PR to Merge Multicore OCaml
If you start a project today I would really try to use esy (https://esy.sh/)
I actually don’t use it myself but it seems to bring the modern programming language experience to OCaml

Frustrated by lacking cross platform support (hoping to be wrong)
Alternatively, you can use esy.sh for a simpler setup/build process (it does not require running in a Cygwin shell).

Opam, PNPM, Node, Esy, Docker, ReactNative on 128GB Mac
Running esy does not work. Apparently, my environment does not know that it is there. Anyone know what is going on here? I have posted this in the discussion for esy@next here. I will get back to you all when I figure this out.

How to beautify java code reliably
Install nodejs: (I highly recommend using a node version manager like fnm) and to install a recent node version (current long term support is 16+)

Effective nodejs version management for the busy developer
I highly recommend setting up nodejs with a version manager, nvm was and still is a popular option, however, I now recommend and have been using fnm, a simpler and faster alternative to manage my nodejs versions.

Oh My Zsh
I switched from nvm to fnm a few years ago and have never looked back. Zero performance issues and it supports .nvmrc files.

Pyright slows down my terminal, trying to speed it up, am using Lazyvim
If it's your terminal that's slow in general and not neovim specifically I found that switching from nvm to fnm for managing node significantly faster at starting up my shell. I don't know whether this is what your issue is but I thought I'd share it regardless. https://github.com/Schniz/fnm

fnm is a fast and simple Node.js version manager. It's really easy to use and is much faster than nvm.

Report on platform-compliance for cargo directories
As a macOS user, it boils my brain whenever I've to type in something like ~/Library/Application Support/org.rust-lang.Cargo/config.toml. macOS users have been begging CLI tools to support XDG variables on macOS too. Setting defaults is a strong indication to the community what should be the "preferred" locations. The defaults defined in your article will invariably lead to some authors saying that if that path is good enough for cargo, then it is good enough for their tool. Even the latest draft RFC acknowledges that macOS should use XDG variables too. I've written more about this here.

Any plans to update Pop base?
Install something like Fast Node Manager from https://github.com/Schniz/fnm and install your Node from there. I work in the software field and tend to use the LTS releases for the TypeScript/React projects I work on.

Building a modern gRPC-powered microservice using Node.js, Typescript, and Connect
You’ll need pnpm and Node.js installed on your machine + some tool for switching node versions (e.g. fnm or nvm will work fine);
What are some alternatives?
