This is an announcement regarding the resolution of the syntax for the await operator in Rust. This is one of the last major unresolved questions blocking the stabilization of the async/await feature, a feature which will enable many more people to write non-blocking network services in Rust. This post contains…
I was asked by someone to put this old piece of writing of mine somewhere more permanent, so here it is. A few comments off the top: This isn’t new. I wrote it years ago. Yes, I’m a b…

2018 is an exciting time to be a programmer, with so many good “full service” programming languages to choose from: C, C++ 2017, Go, Python, Rust and who knows Swift too. Programming languages are complicated beasts - even the simplest languages have specifications that run (or would run) in the hundreds of pages, and…
Part of the Go 2 series of language changes is a new error inspection proposal .
and this made me wonder how many type parameters a method could have. As far as I can tell, the Java Language specification says nothing about this question. 1
Erlang is a programming language designed by Ericsson and used by a number of companies such as WhatsApp, Amazon and Facebook. Watch its creator Joe Armstrong speak about its development and enduring popularity.
It’s no secret that I’m into building toy compilers and programming languages. Today I’m introducing something that’s not a toy (I hope). Today, I’m introducing php-compiler (among many other projects
Things I enjoy in Rust:
Being a self-described programming-language programming language is an ambitious goal. To preserve predictability while permitting linguistic extension, Racket comes equipped with a module system carefully designed to accommodate composable and compilable macros . One of the module system’s foundational properties is…
I am mostly a backend developer, but every now and then I need to do some frontend work. Even if just for personal use.
Asynchronous programming in Rust continues to make exciting strides, including the upcoming stabilization of the futures API . But, while these core APIs make it possible to write async Rust code today, it's not easy: it's a far cry from the smoothness of synchronous code.
This article teaches the fundamentals of parser combinators to people who are already Rust programmers. It assumes no other knowledge, and will explain everything that isn't directly related to Rust, as well as a few of the more unexpected aspects of using Rust for this purpose. It will not teach you Rust if you don't…
Crystal 0.28.0 has been released!
The execution of a program unfolds over some interval of time. The lifetime of every temporary resource (e.g., variable or object) is the time span between that resource’s “creation” and “destruction”. This lifetime is wholly contained within the typically-longer lifetime of the program.
This post will be different from the previous ones, since I’m going to present some of the early results of my work as a PhD student at the Prosecco team in ...
I spent this weekend writing a Forth designed for music synthesis, and it reminded me what a joy writing programming languages is! I have a big list of programming language experiments that I want to try, but it's mostly been in my head so far. Here's a living document of some of the languages I want to write.
This article has been translated into Spanish: Por qué debes aprender más lenguajes de programación (incluso si no los vas a utilizar)
Did you use to have some sort of intuition for what “lvalue” and “rvalue” meant? Are you confused about glvalues, xvalues and prvalues, and worry that lvalues and rvalues mi…
In this tutorial, you'll learn 16 ways for doing concurrency in Clojure including how to start threads and how to communicate between them.
