Phoenix 1.7 is View-less
Phoenix 1.7 is dropping Phoenix.View, but it's for a good reason! Controllers and LiveViews will now render function components. And the aim is to collocate templates next to the controller that renders them!

Extending Python with Rust
Sometimes a pure Python script can't just deliver the performance we need. When that's the case we have to resort to writing our logic in a "fast" compiled language like C or Rust and expose the function with through a Python module. This way we get the best of both worlds. Today I focus on how to use Rust for writing…

GCC now includes Modula-2 and Rust. Do they work on OpenBSD?
Two new language frontends have been added to GCC : Modula-2 and Rust . I think this is great news on both accounts: having a Wirth language in GCC fills my childhood heart with joy (though I do wish GNU Pascal can one day be revived and mainlined, as Pascal was the first non- BASIC language I learned). And Rust…

Native Reflection in Rust
Today, I’m releasing deflect , an implementation of reflection for Rust. Deflect can be used to recover the concrete types of trait objects, inspect the internal state of async generators, pretty-print arbitrary data, and much more.

C23 Implications for C Libraries
The upcomming standard C23 has a lot of additions to the C library clause. Most of them are small, some of them are big but optional.

Delimiter-first code
A new top-level syntax for programming languages is proposed to show advantages of this method. New syntax is arguably as simple, but more consistent, better preserves visual structure and solves some issues in code formatting.

Exercises for understanding Haskell Lenses (2019)
No matter how many blog posts and tutorials I read about lenses, it seems like there's no replacement for just using them to get an intuition. So here are some exercises I came up with. While they shouldn't be all that difficult, they build up from some basic knowledge about lenses up to the more advanced usages of…

Building an interpreter for my programming language with ChatGPT
So, I’ve been working on a programming language in my spare time for over a year now. I’ll save you the details but it’s meant to be a minimal, easy-to-learn language for beginners. This year for the Advent of Code, I set myself a challenge; complete every day’s challenge using only my programming language.

Using Rust at a startup: A cautionary tale
Rust is awesome, for certain things. But think twice before picking it up for a startup that needs to move fast.
