Applications are open for the FP Launchpad Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship at IIT Madras, a fully funded 2-year fellowship in systems and functional programming.
Build real systems, publish research, contribute to open source.
PSA: I'm always looking for excellent folks to join my research group at IIT Madras to work on building "functional" systems. This includes internships, MS and PhD studentships, research staff positions, and post-baccalaureate fellowships.
Reach out to me if you are keen!
Video lectures from my OCaml + Prolog course (kcsrk.info/cs3100_m20) is now publicly available: drive.google.com/drive/u/5/fold…
The course is taken by 3rd-year undergrads at IITM and covers a fair bit of OCaml/FP topics (Monads, Streams, GADTs, Lambda Calculus, STLC).
Did a guest lecture on OCaml's parallel runtime system at Chalmers Parallel Functional Programming course. Slides here: kcsrk.info/talks#gc_chalm…
Did one on effect handlers last year.
Excellent audience. Got stumped both years with one question. Was great :-)
How do you acquire the fundamental computer skills to hack on a complex systems project like OCaml? What’s missing and how do you go about bridging the gap?

Wrote the list for my students, but it may be useful for others too.
