The Dune team at Tarides is looking to get inputs from all of you to improve the Dune DX (developer experience), so we’ve opened a small, anonymous, unstructured feedback form to hear your ideas on how Dune could be improved
I fat fingered and sent it while editing a sentence (gosh I hate touch keyboards!), but hopefully you’ll get the gist of what I meant; I was trying to write that “manually clearing [the dune build cache] was tedious”.
Hi, is the poll more oriented towards regular developers or do you also include casual programmers (e.g. researchers developing prototypes once in a while), professors teaching OCaml, students learning OCaml?
If you’re running dune, then your experience using it can help make dune better. The term Developer Experience normally includes anyone developing software. And while the use-cases of a software engineer, a CS researcher/professor, or a student may differ, there is considerable overlap in the things they do with a tool. In case of dune: initializing projects, building them, formatting code, testing, executing binaries, etc.
