Day 24

Today’s Progress

Community

  • I was fortunate enough to be in several excellent chats, ranging over philosophy and tech and industry and logic and community. I’m feeling very grateful for people’s willingness to share their time and thoughts.
  • I received super helpful expert advice and encouragement on packaging up some of my ongoing projects for Opam.
  • I paired on a dungeon generation algorithm in Racket, which kicked our butts. Was it the editor? The language neither of us were fluent in? The unfamiliar libraries? The problem itself? I’m not sure yet…

PLT

  • I made good headway on Alg, tho I didn’t meet my goal of publishing by today. As I noted yesterday, I have been implementing a quite rigorous, parameterized test framework for enforcing laws over algebraic structures. This has been quite demanding work. I also underestimated how much it would take to get the documentation in good shape.

Category theory

  • Met with the CT study group today, as noted above. I found the meeting really illuminating. Both presenters did a great job.

Writing
