Ruby apps can use a lot of memory. But why? Various people in the community attribute it to memory fragmentation, and provide two “hacky” solutions. Dissatisfied by the current explanations and provided solutions, I set out on a journey to discover the deeper truth and to find better solutions.
In this post, we will describe our quest to create Alfred–Margaret, the fastest Haskell implementation of the Aho–Corasick string searching algorithm, which powers string search in Channable.
The official home of the Erlang Programming Language
Dust3D is a free, open source low poly 3D modeling tool for video games and 3D printing. Features sketch-to-mesh, auto-rigging, procedural animation, and single-tool GLB/FBX export.
Writing a lisp compiler from scratch in JavaScript: 3. LLVM
The upcoming GCC 9 release will have improved diagnostic messages, simpler C++ errors, more accurate error location reporting, and optional machine readable output for developer tools.
Trying to design a new programming language, I’m faced with the question of how to implement a parser for it. Various parser generators are available and sup...
Project Everest is a large, collaborative research effort that aims to verify and deploy a new, secure HTTPS stack. All of our code is verified using the F* programming language. Using KreMLin, a dedicated compiler, the verified F* code is compiled to readable C, meaning existing systems projects can readily integrate…
In the previous post we described the Firewall Rules architecture and how the different components are integrated together. We created a configurable Rust library for writing and executing Wireshark®-like filters in different parts of our stack written in Go, Lua, C, C++ and JavaScript Workers.
I'm developing a programming language called Kernel. Kernel is a conservative, Scheme-like dialect of Lisp in which everything is a first-class object.
This tutorial will show you how to write assembly language programs on the x86-64 architecture.
Since our first release in 2002, there have been 69 security bugs in Firefox’s style component. If we'd had a time machine and could have written this component in Rust from the start, 51% wouldn't have happened. That said, Rust is not foolproof. Developers still need to be aware of correctness bugs and data leakage…
Go 1.12 adds opt-in TLS 1.3, improved modules, and more.
Mint is a new low-level HTTP client that aims to provide a small and functional core that others can build on top.
Due to sheer coincidence of several unrelated tasks converging on Python at work, I recently needed to brush up on my Python skills. So far for me, Python has been little more than a fancy extension language for BeautifulSoup , though I also used it to participate in the recent tradition of writing one’s own static…
It started as a program to add reader usernames, but quickly became the language powering The Times’s website.
This is a program that determines many properties of the C compiler and machine that it is run on, such as minimum and maximum [un]signed char/int/long, many properties of float/ [long] double, and so on.
it's faster than other scripting languages, allowing you to have the rapid development of Python/MATLAB/R while producing code that is as fast as C/Fortran
Beautiful Racket
To learn Rust, I implemented an audio game. There were some things I liked and some things I didn't. Some things were easy and some were hard. And there were plenty of libraries that were a joy to use.
In episode 1 of the Swift Community Podcast, Chris Lattner, Garric Nahapetian, and John Sundell talked about the origins and the current state of Swift. This is an edited transcript of the most interesting parts of the conversation.
