Decode Like It's 1999: MPEG-1 Decoder in JavaScript
A few years ago I started to work on an MPEG1 Video decoder, completely written in JavaScript.

Are unsound type systems wrong?
This is an essay I wrote early-2016. After battling with soundness vs. usability in Typed Clojure for many years, I was starting to reconsider the “obviously wrong” approach of baking unsoundness into the type system from the get-go.
