I've been enjoying Jon Blow's (creator of Braid & The Witness) programming language talks and demos. He's making a new programming language for games, and it's very interesting to watch. I think he's even hired

To add to this: show some of the banner features of the language - what makes it different to X or Y, and why would I want to use it or look into it more.

Yes! I've been seeing a lot of great improvements being added to GitLab recently. I'm intrigued to see what the future holds, and could definitely see myself switching in the near future. With regard to UI/UX improvements, I&

Ah very true. I interpret it as (from Googles define) "destroy or weaken (something) gradually." i.e. destroy/weaken the C code into Rust... Maybe it's just me, though.

I guess you could say its ironic in terms of how I think of it anyway.

I much prefer GitHub or even BitBucket over GitLab. GitLab was insanely slow. A lot of the features GitLab offers still didn't persuade us over something that was minimal, worked well, and was fast. I'm also not a fan of the UI&#x

The name "Corrode" doesn't seem very positive given the purpose of this program...

Depends what you compile to. Writing a register allocator may be a little tricky (if you compile to a VM/Assembly/..), though if you compile to something like C, it's very easy. LLVM is another alternative which is also relat

EDIT0: It appears I was wrong, for some reason I was under the impression DMD produced C code. Ignore this comment! :) Another language that is widely used by hobbyists and in production is D which, as far as I know, produces C code too. ED

It's also insanely easy to generate code for. In addition to this, you don't have to build an entire toolchain of LLVM stuff to get it to work on your system -- LLVM is a nightmare to setup on Windows.

Thanks :) Second post is in the works, will probably be out next week when I have time around college :)

Yeah, tagged unions and the pattern matching make things so much nicer. I love a lot of things about Rust, it's got a lot of things right.

Hey! Yeah D is a really nice language. I have been poking around in Rust, but I don't feel I'm good enough at it to write a blog series with the language.
