I am a puts debuggerer
Update (2023-06-28): Added “I required a file, but I want to know what files were actually loaded” I love puts debugging I am a puts debuggerer. I don’t say this to disparage people that use a Real Debugger. I think Real Debuggers are great, I’ve just never taken the time to learn one well. Every time I try to lean…

Rust vs. C++: Fine-grained Performance
If Rust is to take on work previously reserved to C++, we need to know how well it does what C++ does best. What’s fast, what’s slow? What’s harder to do, what’s easier? I wouldn’t know how to look up answers for those questions, but I can write programs.

Small, Freestanding Windows Executables
Recently I’ve been experimenting with freestanding C programs on Windows. Freestanding refers to programs that don’t link, either statically or dynamically, against a standard library (i.e. libc).

Tcl/tk vs. the web
I agree with you. How is it that in order to build an application on the web I need to know at least seven technologies? Client side: - Javascrit - Coffescript to make JS seem sane - Angular or Jquery to make JS seem productive - CSS - SASS to make CSS seem sane - HTML5 - localstorage (to save somethnig) Server side …
