System programming in Rust: beyond safety
System programming in Rust: beyond safety Balasubramanian et al., HotOS’17 Balasubramanian et al. want us to switch all of our systems programming over to Rust. This paper sets out the case. …

Internals of Go's new fuzzing system
Go 1.18 is coming out soon. It's a huge release, but native fuzzing has a special place in my heart. Not much has been written yet on how Go's fuzzing system actually works, so I'll talk a bit about that here.

Programming ARM μC in Rust at four different levels of abstraction
This content was originally meant to be presented as part of my workshop on Rust and microcontrollers at the NITC FOSSMeet 2018 . As I was not able to cover it satisfactorily during the workshop, I thought of writing it down!

How Clang Compiles a Function
Minor nit: printing the predecessors of a basic block is a feature of the IL printer, not Clang. It is just visualizing information that is implicit in the IR anyway.

Elliptical Python Programming
One thing I love about Python is how it comes with its very own built-in zen. In moments of tribulations, when I am wrestling with crooked code and tangled thoughts, I often find solace in its timeless wisdom. Here's a glimpse of the clarity it provides:

My review of the C standard library in practice
In general, when working in C I avoid the standard library, libc, as much as possible. If possible I won’t even link it. For people not used to working and thinking this way, the typical response is confusion. Isn’t that like re-inventing the wheel? For me, libc is a wheel barely worth using — too many deficiencies in…

Comparisons in C++20
Now that the Cologne meeting is over and we’ve more or less finalized (at least before the NB comments come in) C++20, I wanted to take the time to describe in detail one of the new language features we can look forward to. The feature is typically referred to as operator<=> (defined in the language as “three-way…

Sadly, I must say goodbye to Leaf, my programming language
This is hard to write, or rather, it’s a hard decision to make. After investing many years on Leaf — a programming language, a major life project — I need to take a break from it. It’s no longer fulfilling my goals, and it’s not as fun as it once was. It’s interfering with my […]

WASM is not quite a stack machine
Everyone knows Wasm is a stack machine. Wikipedia says so, the official Wasm design specification says so, you get it. I thought so too. That is, until I started writing Wasm code – not compiling for Wasm, but writing the instructions by hand. And I found out that there exists a major difference between Wasm and all…

Tcl the Misunderstood (2006)
In an article recently linked from reddit entitled Tour de Babel you can read (among lots of other nonsense): Heck, people still use Tcl as an embedded interpreter, even though Python is far superior to Tcl in every conceivable way -- except, that is, for the frost thing.

True Scala complexity
Due to the recent php2shell vulnerability , to save time and effort for both users and maintainers alike, and out of an overabundance of caution, all Scripts sites have had PHP (php-cgi) disabled until a patch is available and backported.
