Rust's unsafe pointer types need an overhaul
I literally wrote the book on unsafe Rust . And the book on pointers in Rust . And redesigned the Rust’s pointer APIs . And designed the standard library’s abstraction for unsafe heap-allocated buffers . And maintain the alternative Vec layout .

C Isn't a Programming Language Anymore
Phantomderp and I have both recently been very aligned on a particular subject: being extremely angry about C ABIs and trying to fix them . Where we’re not aligned is why we’re mad about them.

To save C, we must save ABI
After that first Firebrand of an article on Application Binary Interface (ABI) Stability, I’m not sure anyone expected this to be the title of the next one, huh? It seems especially bad,

The long strange trip to Java (1996)
I've debated with myself for several years about whether or not to write this down. After so much time has passed, the facts are confused, 20/20 hindsight creeps in, and selective memory plays a role in how fairly I can portray the events. Many reporters have asked me my version of these past few years, several have…

I wrote the least-C C program I could
As a fun afternoon challenge, I decided to write a C program that looked nothing like C. Not necessarily obfuscated, though there is a competition for that if you are so inclined.

Internals of Go's new fuzzing system
Go 1.18 is coming out soon. It's a huge release, but native fuzzing has a special place in my heart. Not much has been written yet on how Go's fuzzing system actually works, so I'll talk a bit about that here.

Some mistakes Rust doesn't catch
I still get excited about programming languages. But these days, it’s not so much because of what they let me do, but rather what they don’t let me do. Ultimately, what you can with a programming l...

Async Rust: Panics vs. Cancellation
One of the things people often complain about when doing Async Rust is cancellation. This has always been a bit confusing to me, because it seems to me that async cancellation should feel a lot like panics in practice, and people don’t complain about panics very often (though they do sometimes).
