Support for async fn in traits is probably the single most common feature request that I hear about. It’s also one of the more complex topics. So I thought it’d be nice to do a…
قلب is a programming language exploring the role of human culture in coding. Code is written entirely in Arabic, highlighting cultural biases of computer science and challenging the assumptions we make about programming. It is implemented as a tree-walking language interpreter in JavaScript.
Once you get past the growing pains of the Borrow Checker and realise Rust gives you the power to do things which would be unheard of (or just plain dangerous) in other languages, the temptation to Rewrite it in Rust can be quite strong. However at best, the temptation to RiiR is unproductive (unnecessary duplication…
At the beginning of this decade (2010), a few of us Haskellers were exploring how best to do client-side web programming. We didn’t want to write JavaScript. There’s a surprising number of techniques we tried to avoid doing so. There was work coming from academia and industry. Here’s a history of my own experience in…
How to use the new Go 1.13 error interfaces and functions.
Diagnostics play a very important role in a programming language experience. It’s vital for developer productivity that the compiler can produce proper guidance in any situation, especially incomplete or invalid code.
Bjarne Stroustrup is the creator of C++. We got a chance to chat with him about the “golden years” of Bell Labs and the top C++ questions on Stack Overflow.
We’re really excited to announce that AWS is sponsoring the Rust programming language! Rust is designed for writing and maintaining fast, reliable, and efficient code.

Some personal reflections about the evolution and death or programming languages. By the forces a circumstances, I had to reverse engineer and decommission a few Perl scripts in an old company earl…
It has still often been difficult to find answers to my questions. I think this is largely due to the fact that when discussing things with the average Haskell programmer, I feel like I have a fourth-grade education.
Many programmers are aware that C++ templates are Turing-complete, andthis was proved in the 2003 paper C++ Templates areTuring Complete.

Some readers already know this and a few have suspected. I’ve been working on a new R6RS Scheme compiler for a while. Now I have released it as free software. Read on to learn the many wonderful drawbacks of this niche compiler.
We're pleased to announce TypeScript 3.7 Beta, a feature-complete version of TypeScript 3.7. Between now and the final release, we'll be fixing bugs and
Does this Go snippet compile, and if not, why?
Zig is a general-purpose programming language designed for robustness , optimality , and maintainability . Zig is aggressively pursuing its goal of overthrowing C as the de facto language for system programming. Zig intends to be so practical that people find themselves using it, because it "just works".
As the man said, for every complex problem there’s a simple solution, and it’s wrong.
