Building an efficient and portable programming language with Zig
Zig is a general purpose programming language, meaning that if you have in front of you something that looks like a Von Neumann-ish, Turing-complete machine, you should be able to comfortably program it with Zig. Lately there has been a lot of interest in two such (virtual) machines: BPF and WebAssembly.

A brief introduction to esoteric programming languages
This is the companion reference for A Brief Introduction to Esoteric Languages, my lecture for a friend’s college class. The video should be legible to other viewers, and the material here should be (mostly) understandable without watching the video. The Esolangs Listed roughly in order of appearance in the talk, with…

Let's write a compiler, part 3: A parser
Tokenizing the source code input is a great start for our compiler. Now let's turn our attention to parsing the PL/0 grammar. Once we have finished with the parser, the front end of our compiler will be finished and we will have a PL/0 validator. This is a program that can read in PL/0 source code and inform the user…

C++20 Modules with GCC11
Introduction One of the headline changes of the C++20 standard is the inclusion of modules. Modules promise to significantly change the structure of C++ codebases and possibly signal headers’ ultimate demise (but probably not in my lifetime). It also opens the door to potentially have a unified build system and…

Rust data structures with circular references
To implement its safety guarantees, the Rust compiler keeps careful track of ownership and references throughout a program. This makes writing certain kinds of data structures challenging; in particular, data structures that have circular references.

Loopless Code (2006)
Most J programs contain no loops equivalent to while and for in C. J does contain while. and for. constructs, but they carry a performance penalty and are a wise choice only when the body of the loop is a time-consuming operation. You are just going to have to learn to learn to code without loops.

Python vs Common Lisp, workflow and ecosystem (2019)
I learned Java and C at school, I learned Python by myself and it was a relief. After 8 years working and doing side projects in Python and JavaScript (mostly web dev, Django/Flask/AngularJS/Vuejs), I am not satisfied anymore by the overall experience so I’m making Common Lisp my language of choice.I am not here…

A History of the Rubinius Ruby JIT
Rubinius began as a metacircular implementation of Ruby and was billed as Ruby in Ruby . Today the core and much of the standard library, parser, bytecode compiler, and other components are implemented in Ruby, but the interpreter, runtime, GC and other components, are written in C++.

I use Attrs instead of Pydantic
This post is an account of why I prefer using the attrs library over Pydantic. I'm writing it since I am often asked this question and I want to have something concrete to link to.

An Intuition for Lisp Syntax
Every lisp hacker I ever met, myself included, thought that all those brackets in Lisp were off-putting and weird. At first, of course. Soon after we all came to the same epiphany: lisp’s power lies in those brackets ! In this essay, we’ll go on a journey to that epiphany.
