In which ChatGPT and I invent a fictional language spoken by slime-people
No matter how many blog posts and tutorials I read about lenses, it seems like there's no replacement for just using them to get an intuition. So here are some exercises I came up with. While they shouldn't be all that difficult, they build up from some basic knowledge about lenses up to the more advanced usages of…
So, I’ve been working on a programming language in my spare time for over a year now. I’ll save you the details but it’s meant to be a minimal, easy-to-learn language for beginners. This year for the Advent of Code, I set myself a challenge; complete every day’s challenge using only my programming language.
PHP, as the result of a spectacular error of judgement, appears to be written in US English. How do we developers ensure the traditions of the British Empire continue to be upheld, even in the digital age?
The Data class helps define simple classes for value-alike objects that can be extended with custom methods.
They have potential to be more than "no static types", but that hasn't happened.

We developed a new static analysis tool called Nullsafe that is used at Meta to detect NullPointerException (NPE) errors in Java code. Interoperability with legacy code and gradual deployment model…
tldr: we stick to C89 for now. The curl project builds on foundations that started in late 1996 with the tool named httpget. ANSI C became known as C89 In 1996 there were not too many good alternatives for making a small and efficient command line tool for doing Internet transfers. I am not saying … Continue reading…
At Arduino we like to experiment with new technologies to figure out if we can use them to improve the tools we make for our users. We’ve recently been
Little languages; what they are, why they matter and how they will shape the future of programming.
Starting Forth has always been the fun way to learn Forth programming. This free, online edition uses updated code that runs on modern Forth systems.
You're probably reading this page because you've attempted to access some part of my blog (Wandering Thoughts) or CSpace , the wiki thing it's part of.
