Walking the Clojure source history: a talk not given
Years ago I planned to give a talk centered around exploring the Clojure source history to find interesting buried artifacts.

Understanding the Go Runtime: The Memory Allocator
In the previous article we explored how the Go runtime bootstraps itself — how a Go binary goes from the operating system handing it control to your func main() running. During that bootstrap, one of the first things the runtime sets up is the memory allocator. And that’s what we’re going to explore today. Think of…

OCaml 4.01 for iOS 8
The current OCamlXARM compiles by default for iOS 7.1, but using it for iOS 8 is not too difficult. The only thing that changes is the name of the SDK, which can be specified with the -ccopt option of ocamlopt.

Go Data Structures: Interfaces (2009)
Go's interfaces—static, checked at compile time, dynamic when asked for—are, for me, the most exciting part of Go from a language design point of view. If I could export one feature of Go into other languages, it would be interfaces.

C: The Complete Nonsense
Back in 1996, having heard horror stories about Herbert Schildt's C: The Complete Reference , I decided to check it out. I flipped the book open; I found glaring errors. I paged through it. I found more glaring errors. In short, the book had lived up to the hype; it was awful. Being a pedantic sort, and having just…

Writing Your Own Toy Compiler Using Flex, Bison and LLVM
Update (March 19 2010): this article was updated for LLVM 2.6 thanks to a great patch by John Harrison. He rocks! I’ve always been interested in compilers and languages, but interest only gets you so far. A lot of the concepts of compiler design can easily go way over most programmers’ heads, even the intelligent…

The Building Blocks of Ruby
When showing off cool features of Ruby to the uninitiated (or to a language sparring partner [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1099305/why-is-ruby-more-suitable-for-rails-than-python/1099367] ), the excited Rubyist often shows off Ruby's "powerful block syntax". Unfortunately, the Rubyist uses "powerful block…
