Phoenix 1.7 is View-less
Phoenix 1.7 is dropping Phoenix.View, but it's for a good reason! Controllers and LiveViews will now render function components. And the aim is to collocate templates next to the controller that renders them!

Extending Python with Rust
Sometimes a pure Python script can't just deliver the performance we need. When that's the case we have to resort to writing our logic in a "fast" compiled language like C or Rust and expose the function with through a Python module. This way we get the best of both worlds. Today I focus on how to use Rust for writing…

WebAssembly for the Java Geek
When many Java developers hear the word WebAssembly, the first thing they think is “browser technology”. The second thing: “it’s the JVM all over again”. After all, for a Java developer, in-browser apps are prehistory.

Common Lisp – Myths and Legends (2002)
Lisp has been supporting the world's most complex applications since 1958. And Lisp has grown a lot since then. So if you or someone you know harbors fears or concerns about Lisp because of something learned in a class or muttered by a friend 20 or 30 years ago, it's time to take a fresh look. In this paper we're…

GCC now includes Modula-2 and Rust. Do they work on OpenBSD?
Two new language frontends have been added to GCC : Modula-2 and Rust . I think this is great news on both accounts: having a Wirth language in GCC fills my childhood heart with joy (though I do wish GNU Pascal can one day be revived and mainlined, as Pascal was the first non- BASIC language I learned). And Rust…

All in with Nuitka
After more than 10 years of working on the Python compiler Nuitka, and at the age of 50, I have finally decided to take the plunge. My projects “Nuitka” and “Nuitka commercial” are now my day job , and I quit my work in the Air Traffic Community, after working on ARTAS (a software to create an Air Situation Picture…

Delimiter-first code
A new top-level syntax for programming languages is proposed to show advantages of this method. New syntax is arguably as simple, but more consistent, better preserves visual structure and solves some issues in code formatting.

Goodbye to the C++ Implementation of Zig
It’s funny - I have shared this story a handful of times with friends of mine who are qualified, competent software engineers, and each time the response was confusion about why any of this would be necessary or even remotely helpful. WebAssembly ?!
