Nix-Powered Development with OCaml
I was hoping this post would mention using OCaml with flambda[1] enabled. At least for my work, flambda seems to yield a ~10% speed up when compiling things. Can you get OCaml binaries with flambda enabled through Nix? With opam, I currently have to compile OCaml myself to enable it, as I am not aware of any binaries being distributed.
