My Experience at JuliaCon
Introduction Link to heading I just got home from JuliaCon, the first conference dedicated entirely to Julia.

Lisp: More is less
There’s recently been a resurgence of interest in Lisp (specifically, Clojure) in my neighborhood.

Since the introduction of Swift, speed has been a key selling point. Indeed, it's right in the name of the language. It's said to be faster than dynamic languages like Python or JavaScript, potentially faster than Objective-C, and even claimed to be faster than C for certain cases. But how exactly does it do it?

D’s Garbage Collector Problem
One of the biggest issues with Higgs, the JIT compiler I’m working on, is that the compilation times are too slow. The performance of the compiled machine code that Higgs produces is now fair…

Typographic Programming Language
Allow me to present a simple thought experiment. Suppose we didn’t need to store our code as ASCII text on disk. Could we change the way we write – and more importantly read – symbolic code? Let’s assume we have a magic code editor which can read, edit, and write anything we can imagine. Furthermore, assume we have a…
