SE Radio 665: Malcolm Matalka on Developing in OCaml with Zero Frameworks 5z4s63

Malcolm Matalka, founder of Terrateam, s host Giovanni Asproni to talk about the reasoning behind the choice of a not-so-widespread language (OCaml) and the (almost) total avoidance of frameworks for the development of Terrateam. While discussing the reasons for choosing a specific programming language and the advantages and disadvantages of using external frameworks, they touch on other related topics, including static vs dynamic typing, the use of monorepos, and the advantages of using a single language that can be used both for web frontends and server backends. The episode ends with lessons learned that can be applied to other contexts and projects. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and IEEE Software magazine. 3w3a17
