The public backing by Google absolutely propelled Go into the spotlight, but Dart, also released by Google, hasn’t achieved anywhere near the same success. Considering how long ago Go was released, if the language didn't have its own m

I'm looking at the JSON5 spec and it appears it does not introduce a capital \U escape sequence for Unicode characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP). It's not brought up often, but in JSON you do need UTF-16 surrogate

The manual states that "just is a command runner, not a build system," and mentions "no need for .PHONY recipes!" This seems to suggest that there's no way to prevent Just from rebuilding targets, even if they are u

This isn't "odd" behavior. It's a consequence of using a multibyte encoding scheme. Also, when dealing with case mapping, you can't assume that the character count will remain constant. This is because in Unicode fu

You can have a systems programming language with garbage collection. Most concerns regarding GC are around unpredictable pauses, but you can absolutely design a predictable GC suitable for real-time applications. Rust is not the only option

I recently used Synfig for some simple animations and had an overall good experience. Inkscape natively supports saving to the Synfig format, making it easy to import and animate my vector art. Synfig saves animations in an XML file format,

There is much misunderstanding about Makefiles, what they are, and what they are not. Make is not a "programming language build system" as some would imply, but rather a recipe builder. With Make you provide the file you want buil

As the proposal points out there are already a number of projects for adding an effect system to C. There are also other approaches to aid in correctness, from formal methods to coding standards like MISRA. I think merging any approach into

But why does the GPU API need to be in mainline SDL? Couldn't it be a separate project like SDL_net, SDL_mixer, SDL_image, and SDL_ttf? I would think that as a separate project "SDL_gpu" could be versioned independently, evol
