A Practical Intro to Macros in Rust
One feature of Rust that I'm rather enamoured with is its macro system. Known as "macro by example" (MBE) or sometimes referred to as macro_rules , it provides you with an impressive amount of power whilst not allowing for the sort of evil tricks you can pull in C/C++.

Rewrite Linux Kernel in Rust?
I do not write code for a living. Nor do I study computer science in university. And you know why this is great? Because it allows me to code completely stupid and useless things without anybody being on my back to tell me I shouldn’t. And what I am about to talk is precisely one of these codes…

Counting Clojure Code
For better or worse, we count lines of code. We (hopefully) feel a little dirty when we do it, because it's a flawed metric. But we do it . We do it on large codebases and small code snippets . Even badass hacker David Nolen does it .

Realizing Hackett, a metaprogrammable Haskell
Almost five months ago, I wrote a blog post about my new programming language, Hackett , a fanciful sketch of a programming language from a far-off land with Haskell’s type system and Racket’s macros. At that point in time, I had a little prototype that barely worked, that I barely understood, and was a little bit of…

Kotlin Is Better
I've also ended up using Emacs along side Jetbrains IDEs (PyCharm & Webstorm). It is an odd combo but it works great. Emacs for mind-control level text editing, and the IDE works great for mouse-oriented poking around and small edits.

The Story of a Rust Bug
A while ago, I built a system-tray application in Rust to notify me of new e-mail called buzz. It was working fine, but every now and again, it would fail to connect to the mail server on boot if it started before my network connection was up. Sounds easy enough to fix, so I just added a loop around my connect (even…
