The naked truth about writing a programming language (2014)
My career has been all about designing programming languages and writing compilers for them. This has been a great joy and source of satisfaction to me, and perhaps I can help others with some observations about what you’re in for if you decide to design and implement a professional programming language. Of course…

Walking the Clojure source history: a talk not given
Years ago I planned to give a talk centered around exploring the Clojure source history to find interesting buried artifacts. In service to that goal I walked every commit in the repository to see what I could find. There were indeed interesting discoveries, but eventually my passion for giving the talk 1 dissipated…

Guitar Chord Voicings with Prolog
Prolog is a language that excels at defining and exploring relationships. Let’s take advantage of that and use Prolog to explore a few of the myriad of relationships that exist between chords and the guitar’s fretboard.

A possible new back end for Rust
So typically when you want to make your own compiled language you need a compiler to.. well.. compile it into something useful. Then making it work across a wide range of operating systems and CPU architectures is a huge effort, let alone having it be performant. This is where LLVM comes in.

Micro C, Part 3: Generating LLVM
In part 2, we completed the user facing part of the compiler with semantic analysis. Now we're free to focus on the backend, generating LLVM. To do so, we'll use the llvm-hs-pure library, which embeds LLVM into a Haskell ADT, allowing us to manipulate it without having to set up any FFI.|A blog about various…

Writing Python inside Rust
About a year ago, I published a Rust crate called inline-python, which allows you to easily mix some Python into your Rust code using a python!{ .. } macro. In this series, I’ll go through the process of developing this crate from scratch.
