It’s been a couple of months since the last neocaml release, and the reason is simple — for a while there I was genuinely out of ideas. Back when I shipped 0.6 I declared (again!) that I was done with new features, and this time I almost me…
Regular readers know I have a soft spot for AsciiDoc – I’ve written about it more than once, and it’s the markup behind the documentation of most of my bigger OSS projects (CIDER, nREPL, Projectile, RuboCop). It hits a sweet spot Markdown n…
Last week I announced Port, a small prepl client for Emacs. That post focused on Port itself, but writing it left me with the itch to do a follow-up on the bigger picture, because the socket REPL / prepl story is one I’ve been meaning to wr…
I think I’ll take my REPL neat My parens black and my bed at three CIDER’s too sweet for me…– BozierLast week I announced Port, a small prepl client for Emacs. Today I’m following it up with another small Emacs package. Meet neat, a tiny, d…

I’m pretty much done with the focused development push on neocaml – it’s reached a point where I’m genuinely happy using it daily and the remaining work is mostly incremental polish. So naturally, instead of taking a break I decided it was
When I released neocaml 0.1 last month, I thought I was more or less done with the (main) features for the foreseeable future. The original scope was deliberately small — a couple of Tree-sitter-powered OCaml major modes (for .ml and .mli),…
The keyboard is the most important tool for a programmer. Choose wisely.I’m a keyboard nerd. I’ve owned several great keyboards over the years, starting with the legendary Das Keyboard 3 Ultimate (blank keys and Cherry MX Blue switches – my…
I’ll admit it: when I first started using Claude Code, I mostly ignored the built-in skills. Everyone online was saying “go make your own skills,” so that’s what I did. I wrote custom skills for all sorts of things and I got plenty of thing…
