I think we all knew this might be coming once we finished up with our assembler . While we can in theory solve any computable problem by writing the appropriate assembly for our assembler, writing assembly code can be a bit more cumbersome than a high-level language. There is a reason why we did not write our…
Hey, that took only a month, which means that it’s time, once again, to display some Emacs charts. And since this is the tenth post in this series, I thought I’d natter on even more tha…
I plan on writing about why I am interested in the Lisp family of languages. It will probably come out in stages.
Lets explore how actors work under the hood, using Swift's own source code as a guide to finding out how they work inside the compiler.
In this post, CrowdStrike's Engineering team walks through one possible way of adapting a library to handle OOM events without aborting the process.
Or subtitle: Maybe distributed programming is no longer a programming problem? (For the obvious impaired: This is meant to be more thought provoking than an actual truth) Over the last decade we ha…

We had an opportunity to talk with James Gosling, a Canadian computer scientist, best known as the father of the Java programming language, and get his insight into the languages, features, and solutions that we use every day.
We’ve created an improved version of OpenAI Codex, our AI system that translates natural language to code, and we are releasing it through our API in private beta starting today.

What are the pros and cons of using Rust for production applications? Find out in our interview with Benjamin Chastanier, a senior software engineer at Qovery.
This paper from Zhu and Godfrey looks at single-statement bug fixes in Java code: more specifically, at the differences between how bug are fixed by the people who created them and how they are fixed by other people. The authors found that people fix their own bugs more quickly than other people's, which falls under…
Through several recent discussions of GUI programming in Rust,I have been left with the impression that the term ‘GUI’ means significantlydifferent things to...

It is a lazy Tuesday afternoon. Perhaps you were idly browsing your favorite news aggregator, or visiting The Orange Website to wade through murky startup groupthink in search of interesting links.
Rust is built around the concept of “zero cost abstraction”. The idea is that you can write human-friendly high level code and the compiler will give you for free performance at least as good as any optimized low level code you could have written yourself. With zero cost abstraction, you no longer have to trade off…
This post belongs in the ‘highly speculative’ category. It contains ideas that I’ve yet to flesh out and properly pin down. Reader beware!
