Many of my traditional blog post live on this site, but a great majority of my social-style posts can be found on my much-busier microbloging site at updates.passthejoe.net. It's busier because my BlogPoster "microblogging" script generates short, Twitter-style posts from the Linux or Windows (or anywhere you can run Ruby with too many Gems) command line, uploads them to the web server and send them out on my Twitter and Mastodon feeds.
I used to post to this blog via scripts and Unix/Linux utilities (curl and Unison) that helped me mirror the files locally and on the server. Since this site recently moved hosts, none of that is set up. I'm just using SFTP and SSH to write posts and manage the site.
Disqus comments are not live just yet because I'm not sure about what I'm going to do for the domain on this site. I'll probably restore the old domain at first just to have some continuity, but for now I like using the "free" domain from this site's new host, NearlyFreeSpeech.net.
According to its web page, "Reason lets you write simple, fast and quality type safe code while leveraging both the JavaScript & OCaml ecosystems."
Often called reasonml
, it is based on OCaml, is integrated with NPM and compiles to JavaScript.
The language is a Facebook-sponsored project, so it's marketing is pretty good, plus it works in some way with FB's React JavaScript framework.
Two good places to start are the What & Why and Community pages.
