Dotfile madness
My own home directory contains 25 ordinary files and 144 hidden files. The dotfiles contain data that doesn't belong to me: it belongs to the programmers whose programs decided to hijack the primary location designed as a storage for my personal files.

Comparing the Same Project in Rust, Haskell, C++, Python, Scala and OCaml
During my final term at UWaterloo I took the CS444 compilers class with a project to write a compiler from a substantial subset of Java to x86, in teams of up to three people with a language of the group’s choice. This was a rare opportunity to compare implementations of large programs that all did the same thing…

Since I am getting tired of answering this same question over and over again, I will in this post compile a…
