RE#: how we built the fastest regex engine in F#
around a year ago, we built a regex engine in F# that not only outperformed the ones in dotnet, but went above and beyond competing with every other industrial regex engine on a large set of industry-standard benchmarks. it also supports the full set of boolean operators (union, intersection, complement) and even a…

Learn Rust the Dangerous Way
LRtDW is a series of articles putting Rust features in context for low-level C programmers who maybe don’t have a formal CS background — the sort of people who work on firmware, game engines, OS kernels, and the like. Basically, people like me.

C isn't a programming language anymore
Phantomderp and I have both recently been very aligned on a particular subject: being extremely angry about C ABIs and trying to fix them . Where we’re not aligned is why we’re mad about them.

A philosophical difference between Haskell and Lisp (2015)
UPDATE 2020-08-03 : I no longer stand by the content in this post. I think the overall sentiment is marginally accurate; however, the details in the post are incorrect (as many have pointed out over the years).

Zig and Rust
This post will be a bit all over the place. Several months ago, I wrote Hard Mode Rust, exploring an allocation-conscious style of programming. In the ensuing discussion, @jamii name-dropped TigerBeetle, a reliable, distributed, fast, and small database written in Zig in a similar style, and, well, I now find myself…

Rust RAII is better than the Haskell bracket pattern
Last week, I wrote a blog post about ResourceT, and mentioned Rust's RAII being better than Haskell's bracket pattern. In this blog post, I demonstrate what this advantage is.

My Favorite Rust Function Signature
I’ve gotten really into writing parsers lately, and Rust has turned out to be the perfect language for that. In the course of my adventures, I came up with the following:

Looking at your program’s structure in Go 1.7
Go 1.7—out today!—features an new SSA-based compiler backend. SSA is a method of describing low-level operations like loads and stores that roughly map to machine instructions, with the special difference that SSA acts as though it has infinite number...

Zig's Lovely Syntax
It's a bit of a silly post, because syntax is the least interesting detail about the language, but, still, I can't stop thinking how Zig gets this detail just right for the class of curly-braced languages, and, well, now you'll have to think about that too.

What's New in POSIX 2024
In the 1950s, computers did not really interoperate. ARPANET has not yet happened (that would become a thing in the 60s), and every operating system was typically tied to the hardware that was meant to run on. Most communication actually happened over telephone, and no company was more present in that space than the…
