Rust’s dependencies are starting to worry me
I do not pretend to have more experience or understanding than the top level engineers I often see writing blogs here, but what I am is annoyed. I love rust. It's by far my favorite language, I enjoy the community and the language ergonomics. I've been able to incorporate it into projects in my day job where fit.

Understanding Memory Management, Part 5: Fighting with Rust
This is the fifth post in my planned multipart series on memory management. You will probably want to go back and read Part I , which covers C, parts II and III , which cover C++, and part IV , which introduces Rust memory management. In part IV, we got through the basics of Rust memory management up through smart…

A Common Lisp jq replacement
Title says it all, I seriously dislike jq 's convoluted, impossible-to-remember ad hoc DSL that instantly joined heaps of misery like CMake and gnuplot in my heart. It should really have been a library with a CLI wrapper around eval in a well-known scripting language like Python.

Running Clojure in WASM with GraalVM
Now that Java can be compiled to WebAssembly with GraalVM, how well Clojure can run in Wasm?

How to program a text adventure in C
This is not a C tutorial; there are plenty of those on the web. The reader is assumed to have some basic knowledge of programming in general, and preferrably the C programming language in particular. Maybe you just finished reading a tutorial somewhere, and you would like to learn some more about programming by…

Cheating the Reaper in Go
Even though I am a C++ programmer at heart, Go fascinates me for none of the reasons you think. Go has made several interesting design decisions:

Pipelining might be my favorite programming language feature

Layered Design in Go
This post will describe how I design my programs in Go. I needed this for work, and while I searched for a link, nothing quite fits my coding practices out there. The word “Layered” can pull up some fairly close descriptions, but I want to lay out what I do.

Four Years of Jai (2024)
I’ve been programming for long enough to be righteously cantankerous about a lot of things. The list of languages, frameworks and libraries I’ve worked with professionally or on personal projects is too long to list – but it includes everything from C and assembly languages through C++, Pascal and Delphi, through Java…

Problems with Go channels (2016)
Update: If you’re coming to this blog post from a compendium titled “Go is not good,” I want to make it clear that I am ashamed to be on such a list. Go is absolutely the least worst programming language I’ve ever used. At the time I wrote this, I wanted to curb a trend I was seeing, namely, overuse of one of the more…

Elliptical Python Programming
One thing I love about Python is how it comes with its very own built-in zen. In moments of tribulations, when I am wrestling with crooked code and tangled thoughts, I often find solace in its timeless wisdom. Here's a glimpse of the clarity it provides:
