Lumo – A fast, standalone ClojureScript REPL that runs on Node.js and V8
One common complaint of Clojure REPLs is their [startup time](http://puredanger.github.io/tech.puredanger.com/2013/12/01/clj-problems/). Although that complaint is often somewhat unfounded (and related to tooling), it still takes the bare Clojure JAR about 1 second to start on new hardware…

Elm is Wrong
A few weeks ago, on a whim my friend and I decided to hackathon our way through an app to help us learn how to play guitar . In a stroke of inspiration, we decided to learn something new, and do the project in the Elm programming language , about which I had heard many good things.

This is an essay that I wrote to try to explain to myself what those differences are and why I think they matter, and distill some…

A Random Walk Through Ada (2014)
So the C programming language has been getting a lot of bad press recently; a really stupid bug in some C code has compromised some of the core security infrastructure on the internet. The fix is easy, but the knock-on effects are going to go on for years and will cost serious amounts of money. As a result, people…

Having fun abusing the C language
I was looking through the book Expert C Programming again when I came upon their “light relief” section on The International Obfuscated C Code Competition . It’s a contest to write the most obscure code. That the language C has a competition where you write confusing code in it probably says something about the…
