The book is more about explaining how things work and showing how they're implemented in a simple way. With this premise I think Java is a fair choice because almost everyone knows it. If you're writing a book where you're sh

In such case having a specific use case in mind could be actually helpful. It's much easier to explore the unknown if at least you know what you'd like to find instead than just wandering without a clear destination and hope to so

I find it curios that the article is calling the 'blockchain people' to save the world from Facebook when the blockchain is a public ledger.

The original comment says "they just weren't anywhere in the code that humans could see." Where would you and the comment in a situation like that one? I don't have anything against generated code but it should be visibl

This is a valid point, but now you have two ways of representing a square and you need the coversion functions. It's better than nothing as you can guarantee that an instance of Square is a square, but you still need to handle squares

This is interesting. I find that inheritance as a code reuse tool pushes developers in the direction of taking whatever class they have and tuck some new properties to a subclass. On the other hand, if you realise that a square is a rectang

http://craftinginterpreters.com/ part 2 (still a work in progress) will show you how to write a VM and compile a language to its bytecode. It won't be the JVM but it could be a good start

That's great. I implement part 1 in Rust and I'll do the same for the second part

by msangi 9y ago
The second part (not finished yet) shows you how to build a VM and compile Lox (the toy language used in the book) too run on it.

They are great. Currently the 'A compiler from scratch' episode is free to watch in case you want to have a preview

I cannot believe you're serious with that condesending example. Putting people from Cambridge and Oxford on the pedestal is yet another example of what's wrong with Britain. This also shows in the way they work: people from Europe

Note that he is using Hyper, which is a low level library. The article mentions [Rocket]( https://rocket.rs/guide/getting-started/ ), which has higher level API.

This is a good point, but on the other hand it's sad too see that 0.18 has been abandoned and there are pull request that would fix bugs being ignored. I don't mind that 0.19 is taking long time to be released, what bothers me is

I think that the main problem with Elm is that Evan wants to design the perfect system. This is of course a laudable goal but I think that clashes with the complexity of the real world. A consequence of this is that if you want to do someth

I've played with Elm a while ago and it's been a very nice experience. I wouldn't use it for any frontend work just because I believe that it's possible to avoid single page apps if possible, but if I had to write a SPA

Thanks for the advice, following people made it much more interesting. I also started to appreciate what's the price for decentralization: after following just a couple of users I already have several hundreds megabytes downloaded.
