Compiler Engineering in Practice
“Compiler Engineering in Practice” is a blog series intended to pass on wisdom that seemingly every seasoned compiler developer knows, but is not systematically written down in any textbook or online resource. Some (but not much) prior experience with compilers is needed.

Modular Errors in Rust
It is thankfully common wisdom nowadays that documentation must be placed as near as possible to the code it documents, and should be fine-grained to a minimal unit of describability (the thing being documented). The practice provides numerous benefits to the codebase and project as a whole:

Introduction The other day I was reading this blog post covering existential types in Rust (also known as impl Trait or opaque types). In that blog post, the author makes the following claim. We’re going to have to take a slight diversion into type theory here because it motivates a result that is perhaps intuitive…
