There is often a trade-off between gettings things done in the short term and gettings things done in the long term. All other things being equal (of course they never are...) you'll likely have a much harder time getting things done i

I (with my background on the Mercurial crew back in the day) definitely think Git is ripe for disruption -- I've done some thinking on things you could do. (1) Good UX -- steal more from Mercurial here. No "index" or staging

Personally (as a member of the Mercurial crew at the time) I believe GitHub has been a key part of Git winning. It provided a great UX for sharing code that Bitbucket despite valiant efforts of Jesper et al could just not match. I do think

Totally agreed. I'm using Gitter now in a few places, but I think this would be nicer to use. I've been thinking for a long time that GitHub was really missing some way to fill the gap that mailing lists used to be good for -- to

Have you thought about Chacha20/Poly1305-based analogues to the algorithms you implemented, per https://github.com/briansmith/ring/issues/413 ? Is AES-SIV mainly better because it is specified, and thus h

It might be really interesting for those of us on the outside, so if you end up doing it, maybe publish the resulting conversation somewhere as far as possible?

There's a great episode of the Startup podcast (which is generally quite good, particularly the early seasons) about one of the artisanal coffee producers that sells to Blue Bottle: https://gimletmedia.com/episode/

I disagree with your "too much ceremony" premise in general, but in particular I don't think it holds true for nom parsers. Here are two examples I've been working on: https://github.com/djc/askama&#

I liked the Stanford course given by Aiken, on Coursera: https://dirkjan.ochtman.nl/writing/2012/07/21/compilers-on-c... Also, if you like this sort of thing, my compiler in Python that compiles to LLVM

I actually wrote a JavaScript code generator for Jinja, which allows you to use the Jinja parser and AST and generate pretty readable and fairly sane JavaScript code (for a pretty large subset of full Jinja). I actually used this in my star

Trying to articulate why I like it: it marries the low-level control and type safety from C++ to modern language features as found in Python/Ruby etc, and in doing so manages to hit a pretty sweet spot in terms of having the compiler f

I was wondering the same thing. In previous cases, it seemed that Mozilla and Google acted as one, by working off the same NSS trust database. Has something about that changed? Apparently Google thinks Mozilla is moving to slow on this one?

My main reason was type safety; getting early feedback from the compiler is really valuable to me. I don't see compiling them as a big downside, either. What problems do you see with that? Tera ( https://github.com/Keats

To be honest, there have been multiple takes on Jinja in Rust already; I think Tera ( https://github.com/Keats/tera ) is the most used. However, Tera didn't quite feel Rusty to me, so I wanted to try another approac

I worked on a compiled, statically-typed Python-like language, called Runa. It has a compiler in Python which compiles to LLVM IR. It's similar enough to many of the ideas in Rust that I stopped working it and decided to go code Rust i

This is not a Markdown or reStructuredText tutorial, it's a comparison on some higher-level technical grounds. It's pretty easy to find syntax examples for both Markdown and reStructuredText, and very simple googling will lead to
