Oh boy, I tend to hate videos, but this was amazing. GPG is big trouble. I've had issues with it before but now it's solidified. I'm not ready to use Sequoia and I'm not keen on Rust culture, but something has to be done. I confess to having thought about rewriting GPG in Haskell or Ada or even Rocq, but only at the level of daydreaming.

    Haskell

    I'm learning OCaml right now and it's been pretty dang awesome so far.

    I'm doing Advent of Code 2025 and have made it to day 7 part 2. I've never done an AoC where my first attempt to run the code was correct on both the sample input and real input so many times in a row. I'm in love with this language.

    OCaml is great, and there's an "extreme" version of it called Rocq (formerly Coq, the French word for rooster), that lets you literally prove correctness of your code: https://softwarefoundations.cis.upenn.edu/

    Implemented in OCaml, interesting. 😁

    Seems like it's mostly used academically though?

    Yeah it's way too effort intensive for routinely slamming out code. The main purpose for me of studying stuff like that is to sharpen my understanding of programming, rather than to actually use it. Look at the CompCert project though (compcert.org).
