Slack uses PHP for most of its server-side application logic, which is an unusual choice these days. Why did we choose to build a new project in this language? Should you? Most programmers who have only casually used PHP know two things about it: that it is a bad language, which they would never use if…

This expression: (1 2) represents the list containing the integers 1 and 2 in that order. If you want an empty list, that’s just () . And the list of the first five letters of the alphabet is just (\a \b \c \d \e) .
Random code snippets, projects and musings about software from Eric Kidd, a developer and occasional entrepreneur.
The first thing I do every time I need to learn a new codebase is to start drawing the UML diagram of its classes, and usually give up soon after I started. The process of doing it manually is certainly useful, but now with reflections I figure it would be fun to try to generate it instead.
Introduction One of the headline changes of the C++20 standard is the inclusion of modules. Modules promise to significantly change the structure of C++ codebases and possibly signal headers’ ultimate demise (but probably not in my lifetime). It also opens the door to potentially have a unified build system and…
What happens to programming languages when humans are no longer writing most of the code?
As one of F#'s killer features; type providers have the ability to make rooms full of developers gasp when shown for the first time. Support has recently been added to the FSharp.Data library [https://www.nuget.org/packages/FSharp.Data] for .Net Standard 2.0, allowing us to
It is with great pleasure that we announce the 0.6.2 release of the Red programming language and toolchain. This release is the second heavi...
In mid-December last year I started making my own programming language. It's waaay far from any production quality yet (though I did manage to write a working 1k LOC Monte-Carlo path tracer in it), but the project is on pause right now, so I figured it's a good time to write something about it.
Gleam is a statically-typed functional programming language, which recently had its v1 released, designed for building scalable and maintainable software. It
The story of a new programming language
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
A few weeks ago I got to make some of my code 1000 times faster, without changing the underlying complexity! As the title implies, this involved making Java reflection calls faster.
What we learned from the December 2017 Go User Survey.
In this post I'm going to talk about a small Haskell implementation I wrote which would have been much more difficult to write in other lang...
Crystal has made a huge step forward to have parallelism as a first class citizen. In short, you can set up the number of worker threads on runtime and each new fiber will be scheduled to run on one of them. Channel and select will work seamlessly. You are allowed to share memory between workers, but you will probably…
Julia is a high-level programming language for mathematical computing that is as easy to use as Python, but as fast as C. The language has been created with performance in mind…
