Copying and pasting can be dangerous, but then again, so can many aspects of software development when done incautiously. In this post, I’ll take a look at what code copying actually means for software development, what good code theft means, and the pitfalls of copying badly.
I was having lunch with a couple of Haskell programmers the other day and the subject of the ML family came up. I’ve been writing a lot of ML lately and mentioned that I thought *ML was well worth learning for the average Haskeller. When pressed why the best answer I could come up with was “Well.. clean language, Oh!…

A popular data-oriented design pattern is a Struct of Arrays. Is an Array of Enums also useful? Yes! But let’s do a refresher on struct of arrays (SoA) first:
The new Processor Trace instrument has flown under the radar with this years WWDC announcements but many developers will find it truly indispensable.
<p>Performing manual, repetitive tasks enrages me. I used to think this was a corollary of being a programmer, but I’ve come to suspect (...

Introducing Qdrant Summer of Code 2024 program. GSoC alternative.
Ultravox is a real-time voice AI infrastructure layer that powers fast, natural, and scalable voice agents.
We present a prototype of a programming system called Shadama. Shadama is designed for writing programs that create, control and visualize large numbers of objects. The basic execution model follows the tradition of StarLogo and its "turtles and patches" abstraction. Turtles, Termites, and Traffic Jams: Explorations…
Type inference is a major feature of several programming languages, most notably languages from the ML family like Haskell. In this post I want to provide a brief overview of type inference, along with a simple Python implementation for a toy ML-like language.
We are pleased to announce the release of Ruby 2.4.0-preview1.
I have written about my on-going rewrite-it-to-Rust effort at work: 1 , 2 , 3 . And now it's finished, meaning it's 100% Rust and 0% C++ - the public C API has not changed, just the implementation, one function at time until the end. Let's have a look back at what worked, what didn't, and what can be done about it.
This post prompted by Aaron Klotz’s Diffusion of Responsibility and Sumana Harihareswara’s Inessential Weirdnesses in Open Source .
Meet North Mini Code, Cohere's first open-source agentic coding model: a 30B MoE that codes strongly on minimal hardware.
After watching this year’s EmacsConf and seeing Guile Emacs being resurrected I thought to myself - why limit ourselves to Guile? Sure, Guile isn’t just a Scheme implementation, thanks to its compiler-tower-based design. Other languages exist for Guile VM, such as Emacs Lisp, and Guile manual lists the following…
The Rust language has incrementally grown a set of patterns to support control-flow effects including error handling, iteration, and asynchronous I/O. In The registers of Rust , boats lays out four aspects of this pattern shared by Rust’s three effects. Today these effects are typically used in isolation, or at most…
One of the unspoken areas about software development is building usable software.

arc42 is a template for architecture communication and documentation. It is a proven, practical and highly pragmatic approach and takes the pain out of documentation.
On the previous post we showed an excellent presentation by Cliff Click, and one of the things he mentions is that there is performance for ...
