Rust is built around the concept of “zero cost abstraction”. The idea is that you can write human-friendly high level code and the compiler will give you for free performance at least as good as any optimized low level code you could have written yourself. With zero cost abstraction, you no longer have to trade off…

_posted by John Clements_ Racket version 8.1 is now available from https://racket-lang.org/. DrRacket tabs can be dragged, and have new close buttons. Racket CS supports cross-compilation using `raco exe`. Racket CS supports Android on 32-...
Python f-strings give you a readable, concise way to interpolate and format strings, and they beat .format() and the % operator on speed.
T hese days, I find myself evangelizing for Julia quite a bit. It’s a good language, especially for scientific computing, but I believe its focus on performance also makes it a good general language as well. At some level, programmers who know multiple languages have an abstract understanding of the constructs used…

Introduction Win32 APIs provide powerful functionality that let you get the most out of Windows in your applications. While these APIs are readily accessible to C and C++ developers, other languages like C# and Rust require wrappers or bindi

Dive into both the Ruby and Go languages, learn to write Go in Ruby, and gain the ability to modify Ruby exactly as you desire
It turns out my hopes were answered. First, Prechelt published another article that covers Tcl, Python, Perl, and Rexx. Also, Ron Garret (nee Erann Gat) did a follow-up study in which he asked programmers to write Prechelt's test program in Lisp. His results show that the resulting Lisp programs ran faster on average…
How to understand the language of <\/?[\w\s]*>|<.+[\W]>
In this series, we will explore how to write a compiler for a small subset of C to LLVM in Haskell. Our language, Micro C, is basically a small subset of real C. We'll have basic numeric types, a real bool type, pointers, and structs. At the end of the series, we'll have a beautiful executable, mcc (Micro C…
Today you are frustrated.
_posted by John Clements_ Racket version 8.3 is now available from https://download.racket-lang.org. Racket removes syntax arming and disarming in favor of a simpler system of protected syntax operations, along with other updates to the syntax sys...
We wrote a Brainfuck compiler back in April . That one developed a simple architecture to support multiple backends. Today, I want to write a new Brainfuck compiler. One that can only run on a single system, OpenBSD /amd64. And one that is as small as I can possibly make it. I broke into the sub-256 bytes club with my…
