We've had an exciting couple of weeks full of opportunities to teach people about the exciting (and mildly bewildering) features of OxCaml. And...we're looking to hire an experienced educator to help us in this work. Please share this with anyone you think might be a good fit!

You can find the job postings here, for both NY and London: www.janestreet.com/join-jane-st... www.janestreet.com/join-jane-st...

And more about OxCaml itself on oxcaml.org, where you can see some of our efforts to make this stuff easier to understand. There's a pile of documentation, including a tutorial on data-race free programming in OxCaml: oxcaml.org/documentatio...

We're hoping to work more with Greg as well as @shriram.bsky.social and @tonofcrates.bsky.social at Brown, and that some of their insights of thinking about how well designed tools and documentation can help people make the key conceptual leaps.

You can actually see some of the great work from that group on Rust, in a talk Will recently gave at Jane Street: www.janestreet.com/tech-talks/r...

My hope and expectation is that approaching this with an educational lense will influence not just how we teach, but also the design of our tools, our libraries, and the language itself.
