I was reading through the MDN docs the other day and found these JS features and APIs I never knew existed. So here is a short list of those things, useful or not - learning JS seemingly never ends. Label Statements [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/
Here's a Forth program debugged in KDevelop – a graphical debugger without Forth support:
Extend the switch statement so that it can be used as either a statement or an expression, and that both forms can use either a "traditional" or "simplified" scoping and control flow behavior. These changes will simplify everyday coding, and also prepare the way for the use of pattern matching (JEP 305) in switch …
A blog about Rust and embedded stuff
webpack is a brilliant tool for bundling frontend assets. When things start to slow down, though, its batteries-included nature and the ocean of third-party tooling can make it difficult to optimize. Poor performance is the norm and not the exception. But it doesn’t have to be that way, and so — after many hours of…
A brief recap. The new project Rust Qt Binding Generator can create bindings between Rust code and Qt code. You can use Rust code to power your Qt application. Or in other words, you can use Qt as a cross-platform user interface for your Rust application.
How to solve linear systems that have many solutions, or those that have no solutions at all? That's the theme for a thick math textbook, of course, but from...
A detailed look at how we replaced the most performance-sensitive portions of the source-map JavaScript Library’s source map parser with Rust code that is compiled to WebAssembly. The results: The ...

Computers store data as streams of bits. Binary files like image, audio or video files are allowed to contain just about any sequence of bits. However, we also often use text formats; for example, web pages and emails are required to be text. So how do we send images by email? How do we embed … Continue reading…
Elixir v1.6 includes a code formatter, defguard, dynamic supervision and new module attributes that improves code quality and the developer experience.
Why Go’s stability and simple deployments is a good fit for a serverless environment.
People call WebAssembly a game changer because it makes it possible to run code on the web faster. Some speedups are already present, and some are yet to come. With ...
There's quite a lot of talk these days about Single Page Applications (SPAs) and the terrific user experience they deliver. This is great, and the SPA architecture is probably a good fit for many apps, but I want to point out two reasons why SPAs are harder to develop and maintain than tr

The three levels of software, a framework by Jimmy Koppel: runtime, code, and logic, and why code that never fails can still be wrong.
Why code can't replace design docs: three examples (testing, coupling, intent) of design information that cannot be recovered from code alone.
As you may know we have been working on bringing Mono to the WebAssembly platform . As part of the effort we have been pursuing two strategies; one that uses the new Mono IL interpreter to run managed code at runtime, and one that uses full static (AOT) compilation to create one .wasm file that can be executed…
Let's solve application security at an ecosystem level by updating outdated and/or insecure blog posts to refer developers to better practices.
This post courtesy of Paul Maddox, Specialist Solutions Architect (Developer Technologies). Today, we’re excited to announce Go as a supported language for AWS Lambda. As someone who’s done their fair share of Go development (recent projects include AWS SAM Local and GoFormation), this is a release I’ve been looking…
Three months ago, in Roadmap #5 , I wrote that OSH will be a better shell for building Linux distributions . It will run existing code, including bash scripts, but it's stricter and easier to debug.
Do you like complex application logic? We don’t either. One of the things we’ve learned here at Google is that application code is simpler and development schedules are shorter when developers can rely on underlying data stores to handle complex transaction processing and keeping data ordered. To quote the original…
