  • From the post:

    > Even without explicit mode annotations, the compiler can statically determine which variables may escape their enclosing region. Such variables are assigned the global mode; all others are automatically inferred to be local.

    There's a little more info about mode inference in the proposal:

    https://github.com/ocaml-flambda/ocaml-jst/blob/main/jane/do...

    So arguments to "public functions" do require explicit annotations in order to be local, but otherwise the compiler is able to infer locality and this acts as a transparent optimization.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
