Over eight months, contributed to the hazelgrove/hazel repository by building and refining core features for the Hazel language and editor. Work included overhauling the Livelit system for safer, more reliable live literals, modernizing the initialization workflow, and expanding real-time collaboration through WebSocket-based multiplayer. Leveraged OCaml, TypeScript, and JavaScript to implement robust type systems, improve error handling, and streamline UI interactions. Enhanced data persistence, modularized build systems, and improved documentation and test coverage to support maintainability and onboarding. Focused on code quality through systematic refactoring, removal of deprecated components, and targeted bug fixes, resulting in a more stable, extensible codebase.
May 2025: Hazell repository progress focused on initialization, language development, UI simplification, and tooling improvements. The work emphasizes onboarding, stability, and maintainability across the Hazel project.
