Calling Rust from Python
I recently watched GOTO conferences' talk Calling Functions Across Languages by Richard Feldman. I’m afraid I have to disagree with using the term 'language' in this context. It’s a no-brainer to call Java from Kotlin or Scala or to call Java from Kotlin. Hence, in the rest, I’ll use 'stack'.

Thread-per-core
I want to address a controversy that has gripped the Rust community for the past year or so: the choice by the prominent async “runtimes” to default to multi-threaded executors that perform work-stealing to balance work dynamically among their many tasks. Some Rust users are unhappy with this decision, so unhappy that…

Java 21: The Nice, the Meh, and the Momentous
When Java 17 was released in 2021 as a “long term support” version, I wrote an article dissecting its features and came to the conclusion that it had a few nice features, but none that were compelling reasons to upgrade. Except one: tens of thousands of bug fixes.
