Yaron Minsky nerdsniped me last week into getting OCaml to drive the 80s-retro RGB Matrix displays. I grabbed one from the local Pi Store and soldered it together with help from Michael Dales. But instead of writing OCaml bindings by hand, we thought we'd try out the latest agentic CLI called Claude Code released last week to see if we could entirely autogenerate the bindings.

A hardware description language using OCaml effects This is an idea proposed in 2025 as a Cambridge Computer Science Part III or MPhil project, and is available for being worked on. It may be co-supervised with KC Sivaramakrishnan and Andy Ray. Programming FPGAs using functional programming languages is a very good fit for the problem domain.
