PyPy.js: First Steps
I've been spending a lot of time in JavaScript land lately. It's not totally unexpected – when I first applied for a job with Mozilla, I was warned only semi-jokingly that "they hire all the best Python programmers and then force them to write JavaScript". I've no deep love or hate for it as a language, but JavaScript…

C++17 and other future highlights of C++
Welcome to the 3rd and last part about current proposals for C++17 and beyond. In the last part, there was an overview on the current Technical Specifications, most likely to move into C++ after C++17 . The full proposal listing of 2016 sorted by subgroups contains many more proposals then I can cover.

A Lambda Calculus with Coroutines and Heapless, Directly-Called Closures
co_lc is a lambda calculus extended with stackful coroutines. An efficient implementation for the compilation and virtual machine execution of co_lc is presented. The implementation supports tail-call optimization and eliminates all indirect calls by defunctionalizing closures.

Allocators in Rust
There has been a lot of discussion lately about Rust’s allocator story, and in particular our relationship to jemalloc. I’ve been trying to catch up, and I wanted to try and summarize my understanding and explain for others what is going on. I am trying to be as factually precise in this post as possible. If you see a…

Write Yourself a Haskell in Lisp
For me, the best way to understand something is usually to implement it myself. So when I first started getting serious about Haskell, I implemented (in Common Lisp) a simple lazy functional programming language that used graph rewriting for the interpretation. Then, years later, I mentioned this implementation in a…

Killing the C++ Modules Technical Specification
In my previous post, I mentioned that have serious issues with the current Modules TS as it is written. I have wanted to say more on the subject since my tweets, posts, and general comments are missing quite a bit of context for why I think the implementation is wrong and will be more trouble than it is worth.

Things from Python I'd miss in Go
Let's assume Go has one killer feature – cheap concurrency – not present in any other language with similar serial performance (ruling out say Erlang). And let's agree that it gives Go its perfect niche – and we're only discussing uses of Go outside that niche from now on. So we won't come back to concurrency till the…

Inventing Monads
I got into a discussion about monads recently. On a search to find some resources to share, I realized that most essays explained them with type signatures and rules. A missing ingredient to grok them, I think, is to understand the intuition behind them. How could you end up inventing monads?
