Garbage Collection
We say Lox is a “high-level” language because it frees programmers from worrying about details irrelevant to the problem they’re solving. The user becomes an executive, giving the machine abstract goals and letting the lowly computer figure out how to get there.

Why the C++ standard ships every three years
WG21 has a strict schedule (see P1000) by which we ship the standard every three years. We don’t delay it. Around this time of each cycle, we regularly get questions about “but why so strict?”, esp…

Ruby and Its Neighbors: Smalltalk
Smalltalk was the second major influence on Ruby's design. A different kind of influence, since almost nothing of Smalltalk's syntax made into Ruby. But many of the details of how objects work are directly inspired by Smalltalk, including the idea that every piece of data is part of the object system.

I sometimes get asked for recommendations of what programming language to "learn next". It's great that folks appreciate the fact that being exposed to several sufficiently different programming languages is an important step on the path to programming enlightenment. But it's also true that, given limited free time…

Thoughts on Rust, a few thousand lines in
To say my first foray into Rust was a frustrating struggle would be an understatement. I picked a terrible first project that left me neck deep in Rust’s trickiest areas right off the bat. I was excited to try again. A few years ago I wrote Sumoshell, a CLI App for log analysis. I’d wanted to improve it for a while…
