K&R C (2014)
I was recently reading the C99 rationale (because why the fuck not) and I was intrigued by some comments that certain features were retired in C89, so I started wondering what other weird features …

Julia, I love you (2012)
Julia is a new language for scientific computing that is winning praise from a slew of very smart people, including Harlan Harris, Chris Fonnesbeck, Douglas Bates, Vince Buffalo and Shane Conway. As a language, it has lofty design goals, which, if attained, will make it noticeably superior to Matlab, R and Python for…

List out of Lambda
If you ignore the practical issues of computers like size, weight, cost, heat, and so on, what do you really need in a programming language? Let's play around with this question.

An alternative Haskell home page
The web site has since been through various iterations and changes, therefore I include some screenshots below for posterity (because my design is much more beautiful than what is now online ;-).

A brief introduction to OCaml
A couple of weeks ago I did an introductory presentation on OCaml at our local meetup groups @GotLambda . The material is in the form of one long interactive session, in a style similar to learnxinyminutes.com .

Teaching Programming Languages by Experimental and Adversarial Thinking
After we published this paper, Matthias Hauswirth kindly pointed out similarities between this work and the PL-detective , a body of work that is very closely related that we did not previously know. Less similar but also related---and entertainingly written up---is smeagol . Since we published the paper, we have…

Code Models
Code reflection, an enhancement to Java reflection, enables access to symbolic representations of Java code in method and lambda expressions. “Symbolic representations of Java code” may seem like a fancy term, but its easily demystified. It’s a model of Java code where the code of a method or lambda expressions is…

Embracing Modern C++ Safely, Book Review
C++11 has been around for around 11 years and C++14 for 8. From my experience, I see that even today, many companies struggle to use those standards in production in the most efficient way. As always, with new stuff came benefits, risks, and increased learning effort. Fortunately, with a new book written by top C++…

Assembly Language: Still Relevant Today
First, no, I don't do every thing in assembly. I use other languages too. Assembly language does have its place though. Second, a few of my points may not apply to highly complex processors; for example, self-modifying code may not work on a processor with an instruction cache .

What is a programmable programming language? (2019)
When I was still researching this fabled obscure language called Lisp one thing people kept saying about it is that “Lisp is a programmable programming language”, but I could never figure out what they meant by that. It sounds like a smug buzzword or like a gimmick from an academic toy language. Lisp programmers have…
