Reflections on Learning Rust by Building Punchtop
To learn Rust, I implemented an audio game. There were some things I liked and some things I didn't. Some things were easy and some were hard. And there were plenty of libraries that were a joy to use.

How many keywords I can fit into a single C# expression?
As I was playing few days ago with “yield return await“ I got an idea to try fit as much “keywords” as possible into one “expression”. I mean as much blue words (in Visual Studio’s default colors) as possible together (not separated by semicolon, comma, colon, bracket, etc.).

Cargo's next few years
The Cargo team have been thinking about and discussing long-term plans for Cargo. In this post I'll talk about what we hope Cargo will look like around the time of the next edition (assuming there is another edition and that it happens in about three years, neither of which is

When FP? And When OOP? (2013)
Very roughly speaking, functional programming (“FP”) and object-oriented programming (“OOP”) have similar levels of expressive power and similar abilities to encapsulate programs into smaller parts that can be combined and recombined.

Thoughts on Rust, a few thousand lines in
To say my first foray into Rust was a frustrating struggle would be an understatement. I picked a terrible first project that left me neck deep in Rust’s trickiest areas right off the bat. I was excited to try again. A few years ago I wrote Sumoshell, a CLI App for log analysis. I’d wanted to improve it for a while…

Initialization in C++ is Seriously Bonkers
I was recently reminded of why I think it’s a bad idea to teach beginners C++. It’s a bad idea because it is an objective mess—albeit a beautiful, twisted, tragic, wondrous mess. Despite the current state of the community, this post is not a polemic against modern C++. This post is partly a follow-up on Simon Brand’s…

Comparing Pythagorean triples in C++, D, and Rust
