This is the ten year anniversary version, although still somewhat nascent.


There is already a new version of the Occam IDE available, which you can download from the Occam website. It includes improvements around the grammars as well as a new Unicode picker.


Updated and now working.


There is also a wonderful interview with Pirsig given shortly after the book was published:

Look out for the turtle with four elephants on its back. I wonder if Terry Pratchett got the idea from this interview.


I have set up a Slack channel. Please feel free to join and ask questions!


There's some fun to be had in working with the grammars, even if you've never done this kind of thing before. If you take a moment to clone the repository and have a look at the examples, you'll see that you are able to work with them directly.

I am especially interested in (and would be especially grateful for) contributions to the JavaScript grammar.Any contributions would be hugely appreciated, however.


Nope, no satire.

The seeming lack of any discernible styling on my homepage is intentional (in fact there is a little, but still). I don't want to detract from the content.

The paragraph font size is sixteen pixels, by the way, which is pretty standard and happens to be four pixels more than this site, which I assume you can read just fine.

Your font size is smaller than HN's on my laptop. HN's font-size isn't defined in pixels, it's 10pt [9pt in places] which is rendering at 18px on my laptop. Even that's a wee bit smaller than I'd like. And on my 7" tablet I have to zoom the text on HN too, as it's unreadably small.

In these days of mobile devices and so-called 'retina' displays, it's not a good idea to define font sizes in pixels or points. Much better to use EM and REM


Hmm, I can't see an active link in the title so here it is in plaintext:

The BBC work was React based and I've done more work recently.

Many thanks and kind regards, James
