RISC-V Business: Testing StarFive's VisionFive 2 SBC
It's risky business fighting Intel, AMD, and Arm, and that's exactly what Star Five is trying to do with this: The chip on this new single board computer could be the start of a computing revolution—at least that's what some people think! The VisionFive 2 has a JH7110 SoC on it, sporting a new Instruction Set…

A Lambda Calculus with Coroutines and Heapless, Directly-Called Closures
co_lc is a lambda calculus extended with stackful coroutines. An efficient implementation for the compilation and virtual machine execution of co_lc is presented. The implementation supports tail-call optimization and eliminates all indirect calls by defunctionalizing closures.

Common Lisp Implementations in 2023
Much has been written on Common Lisp; there is rarely one year without someone proclaming the death of the language and how nobody uses it anymore. And yet it is still here, so something must have…

C++ Coroutines
C++ is late to the coroutine party, compared to other programming languages, but they are part of C++20. Prior to coroutines, a C++ programmer had two choices, roughly speaking:

Rust vs. Haskell
Even though Rust and Haskell are quite different languages, they are also surprisingly alike. If you know Rust, you have a head start with Haskell, and vice versa.

Let's write a setjmp
Yesterday I wrote that setjmp is handy and that it would be nice to have without linking the C standard library. It’s conceptually simple, after all. Today let’s explore some differently-portable implementation possibilities with distinct trade-offs. At the very least it should illuminate why setjmp sometimes requires…

My review of the C standard library in practice
In general, when working in C I avoid the standard library, libc, as much as possible. If possible I won’t even link it. For people not used to working and thinking this way, the typical response is confusion. Isn’t that like re-inventing the wheel? For me, libc is a wheel barely worth using — too many deficiencies in…

Swift Achieved Dynamic Linking Where Rust Couldn't (2019)
For those who don’t follow Swift’s development, ABI stability has been one of its most ambitious projects and possibly it’s defining feature, and it finally shipped in Swift 5 . The result is something I find endlessly fascinating, because I think Swift has pushed the notion of ABI stability farther than any language…
