This is a talk and slides from Narrascope 2022, held online in July 2022. It completes a trilogy — I also spoke at Narrascope I and Narrascope II. I’m grateful to the IFTF, and particularly to Judith Pintar and Andrew Plotkin, for arranging the opportunity.
The latest news from Google on open source releases, major projects, events, and outreach programs for early career developers.
For a while now I've been trying to find a good way to explain what structured concurrency is, and how it applies to Rust. I've come up with zingers such as: "Structured concurrency is structured programming as applied to concurrent control-flow primitives" . But that requires me to start explaining what structured…
We have been working hard for a few months now to rewrite the ELF support in lld, the LLVM linker. We are happy to announce that it has reached a significant milestone: it is now able to bootstrap LLVM, Clang, and itself and pass all tests on x86-64 Linux and FreeBSD with the speed expected of an LLVM project.
Clojure macros have two modes: avoid them at all costs/do very basic stuff, or go absolutely crazy.
Solving Logic Puzzles with Prolog
After a rather long break from programming and Clojure I decided give them another go. When it comes to managing Clojure projects, Leiningen is de-facto standard tool. Recently, Clojure CLI tools are becoming more and more popular, though. Switching to yet-another-build-tool doesn't have any pragmatic value, but it's…
This story is about concurrent data structures in the context of Ruby. The goal here is to demonstrate how true parallelism can be achieved with global mutable state (which at the time of writing, is not supported by built-in Ruby primitives).
I hope that the true promise of functional programming for parallel computing can be widely realized.
As someone who is interested in systems programming, and has experience working with Go, but not with C or C++1, The Odin language is a great fit. Proper systems language Odin is a systems langauge…
Some time later, I came across Iavor’s "jokes" page, including a funny bit called “ The Evolution of a Programmer ” in which the traditional imperative "Hello, world" program is developed through several variations, from simple beginnings to a ridiculously complex extreme. A moment’s thought turned up the factorial…
One story every computing enthusiast should hear is the lesson ofhow loops and tail-recursion are equivalent. We like recursivefunctions because they’re amen...

How to handle and report errors effectively in Rust applications is a common question. This blog shares our experience organizing variant types of Error in a complex system like GreptimeDB, from how an error is defined to how to log the error or present it to end-users. Such a system is composed of multiple components…
Rust is a programming language implemented as a set of open source projects. It combines the performance and resource efficiency of systems programming languages like C with the memory safety of languages like Java. Rust started in 2006 as a personal project of Graydon Hoare before becoming a research project at…

Alright, guys. Today I want to talk about programming. It is interesting to note that I have solved it. Yes, I solved it. Here are my…
