Exploring Rust (from C#)
For the past few years I’ve followed the evolution of Rust with interest. Rust is a new systems programming language (like C or C++) with greater emphasis on...

The German School of Lisp (2011)
The German school of Lisp is described by Kazimir Majorinc as a Spartan movement 1 in Lisp implementation. But let me be clear, the Lisps in question are not toys like the one’s littering the Lisp landscape (including my own ). Likewise, these Lisps are not libraries nor are they full-blown development ecosystems.

Using the Free Pascal IDE for a Week

Zero Feet: a proposal for a systems-free Lisp
Some make the claim that "all languages depend on C"; 1 not only is this statement ill-typed, as implementations perhaps depend on other languages, and languages rarely do, but the statement would still be wrong if we correct it. Some will retort by writing parts of an implementation in another "system language"; more…

Swift: Madness of Generic Integer
Handling Integers with Swift is not the easiest task. Especially when I need the generic function that can do some work on any kind of Integer. There are 11 Integer types that can be considered as Integers: * Int8 * UInt8 * Int16 * UInt16 * Int32 * UInt32 * Int64 * UInt64 * Int * UInt * Bit (I'll

My Ideal Array Language
The fundamental units of computation available to users today are not the same as they were 20 years ago. When users had at most a few cores on a single CPU, it made complete sense that every program was written with the assumption that it would only run on a single core.

A surprising enum size optimization in the Rust compiler
Enums are one of the most popular features in Rust. An enum is a type whose value is one of a specified set of variants.

Effective Concurrency with Algebraic Effects in Multicore OCaml
Algebraic effects and handlers provide a modular abstraction for expressing effectful computation, allowing the programmer to separate the expression of an effectful computation from its implementation. In this post, I will present an extension to OCaml for programming with linear algebraic effects, and demonstrate…

I got the J language working on OpenBSD
Yes, I am aware that I am interrupting our self-hosting PL/0 compiler series but I think it will be worth it. Earlier today, I got the J language system running on OpenBSD . I find it important to write these up, because it helps me preserve my own knowledge of what I did and hopefully it will help others porting…

Visualising the Go garbage collector
gcvis is a simple way of visualising the operation of the garbage collector within a Go process. Here is a screenshot of it in operation. The rest of this article explores how gcvis works and how to interpret its results.

When FP? And When OOP? (2013)
Very roughly speaking, functional programming (“FP”) and object-oriented programming (“OOP”) have similar levels of expressive power and similar abilities to encapsulate programs into smaller parts that can be combined and recombined.

On Go
This is one of a series of posts on languages, you can read more about that here . A grab bag of observations on the Go programming language, positive and negative. It bucks some orthodoxy on what a good effective language is supposed to look like. It makes sensible engineering decisions and is sq
