Lush: My favorite small programming language (wordpress.com)
I meant to write about this when I started my blog in 2009. Eventually Lush kind of faded out of my consciousness, as it was a lot easier to get work doing stuff in R or Matlab or whatever.

In 2011, I used Scry as a self-hosted photo publishing platform. Scry was made in PHP, was file based and adhered to the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid!) philosophy of software development. It was very simple to use and maintain.

My First Experience with OCaml (pliutau.com)
Recently I’ve been motivated to learn more about functional programming and the name OCaml came up quite a few times. I have seen some praise about it from the people I follow on social media and decided to give it a try. I finally finished a small project in OCaml and would like to share my first impressions while the memory is still fresh.
