GenStage is a new Elixir behaviour for exchanging events with back-pressure between Elixir processes. In this blog post we will cover the background that led us to GenStage, some example use cases, and what we are exploring for future releases.
TL;DR: Starting with Firefox 48, Mozilla is shipping its first production Rust code, with more to come! Mozilla ❤ Rust It's hard to believe it's been almost seven years since ...
Exploring Functional Programming ideas like Monads and Kleisli Category in JavaScript. Starting from an alternative solution to Promises.
An experimental, minimalistic, static, functional language with zero dependencies.
After the release of our reactive framework a few days ago, we though it would be a good idea to implement the, often mentioned, spreadshee...
In case you missed it, Marius recently wrote a post on the Pyston blog about our baseline JIT tier. Our baseline JIT sits between our interpreter tier and our LLVM JIT tier, providing better speed…
With last weeks C++ committee meeting in Oulu, C++17 is feature complete and on its way to become an international standard. After the last meeting in Jacksonville I had little hope to see big surprises, but Oulu managed to add a few important and interesting features to the new standard. There is a very good overview…
This is a tutorial on how to implement a programming language. If you ever wrote an interpreter or a compiler, then there is probably nothing new for you here. But, if you're using regexps to “parse” anything that looks like a programming language, then please read at least the section on parsing . Let's write less…
What ML-Flavoured Erlang is a statically typed language with basic parametric polymorphism (generics) for the Erlang VM that I’ve been hacking …
Updated (2017): See .NET Core Releases to learn about newer releases. We are excited to announce the release of .NET Core 1.0, ASP.NET Core 1.0 and Entity Framework Core 1.0, available on Windows, OS X and Linux! .NET Core is a cross-platform, open source, and modular .NET platform for creating modern web apps…
The official home of the Erlang Programming Language
We are pleased to announce the release of Ruby 2.4.0-preview1.
Elixir v1.3 brings many improvements to the language, the compiler and its tooling, specially Mix (Elixir's build tool) and ExUnit (Elixir's test framework).
Students often ask for a recommendation on what language they should learn next. If you're looking for a job in industry, my reply is to learn whatever is hot right now: C++, Java and C#--and probably Python, Ruby, PHP and Perl too.
I think PHP sucks, but not for the obvious reasons. Today I got into a mild discussion on twitter, sparked by the following tweet:
Efficient concurrent programming libraries are essential for taking advantage of fine-grained parallelism on multicore hardware. In this post, I will introduce reagents , a composable, lock-free concurrency library for expressing fine-grained parallel programs on Multicore OCaml . Reagents offer a high-level DSL for…
At the end of January of this year, I switched to a new job, almost exclusively because I was enticed by the idea of being able to write Haskell. The concept of using such an interesting programming language every day instead of what I’d been doing before (mostly Rails and JavaScript) was very exciting, and I’m…
