OCaml Workshop 2024 at ICFP -- announcement and call for proposals

Hello everyone :wave:

The accepted talks for the OCaml Workshop are now public! You can find them on the Workshop website.

For those who haven’t seen it yet: The registration for the workshops and the whole conference is open now. There’s currently an early bird discount, which ends on August 3rd.

We’re very happy with the expected quality and diversity of talks of the OCaml Workshop. To give a bit of a taste via a few examples of talks that will be presented:

  • In the context of the OCaml language, On the design and implementation of Modular Explicits will present a major and long-wanted new language feature whose PR on the compiler landed last week.
  • In the context of the OCaml ecosystem, Opam 2.2 and beyond will present technical details as well as struggles about the just-landed 2.2 release of your package manager.
  • In the context of day-to-day OCaml applications, B · o · B, a universal & secure file-transfer software in OCaml will present a real-life MirageOs application.
  • In the context of OCaml developer experience, Project-wide occurrences for OCaml, a progress report will present a shiny new editor feature that makes OCaml code navigation a joy.
  • There will also be four talks in the landscapes of OCaml multi-core (i.e. OCaml 5).

We’ve given the authors a few weeks to update their abstracts and papers if they want to. At the beginning of August, the scheduled program with updated abstracts and attached papers will be on the website.

As we’ve mentioned already, the in-person experience of the workshop is a very nice one, allowing everyone to interact with colleagues and the rest of the community, to chat about the talks and OCaml in general, hit up the speakers etc. However, if you’re not able to make it, you’ll still be able to enjoy the talks: The talks will be live-streamed, and some time later be made permanently available online.

Really, genuinely, thanks a lot to all members of the Program Committee for the very valuable reviews and interactions as well as to all the authors of all submissions!

Cheers,
@Armael and @pitag
