I really love Zig, it can apparently replace our C toolchain with brilliant, static cross-compilation, including s390 Linux support (mainframe Linux!). My only gripe is that the syntax and stdlib, although practical and to the point, seem t

Brace for impact, be flexible (as these are extraordinary circumstances) and forget about lawsuits or credit reporting as that would be very bad rep for you or your business as it's somewhat of an ugly gesture - if you care about a rep

Perl smart match IS a disaster, we fought with lot of bad smart-match behavior for a while in the late 2000s, then educated programmers over and over on how to do smart matching just to see how the Perl community and the language took actio

I'm actually planning on declaring war against pattern matching in EcmaScript, which is stage 1 right now. I can't believe how popular it can be. To me it looks like a huge antipattern, a complete different way of writing conditio

Back in the 90s when I got my first job, Awk was the gateway drug to the stronger stuff, Perl. Once you were hooked, productivity skyrocketed and managers would wonder around the office saying "how does he do that 10-day thing in just

I wonder if the const syntax introduced in ES6 will ever result in const folding, or any JIT optimizations for code running in JS runtimes. Apparently, from what I've read, const is being ignored as far as optimiztions go and is only u

I really wish the community would take over and fork MacOS at its lowest opensource/forkable denominator to start a free-as-in-Linux, MacOS binary-compatible alternative. Something that is stable and predictable for hardware makers to

I find genome sequences fascinating, life's binary code has only 4 opcodes, a, c, g and t. I wonder if any computer VM will ever be able to actually fully run it. Still, the massively parallel capacity needed to run it "realtime&q

A little off-topic, but I've built a small backend server in Node.js and Tensorflow.js to run a previously Pyhton-built model and was amazed by how performant and non blocking it runs. The model can do around 10k predictions/s and

I wonder what the future of package management will be. The author of the Node-revamp language Deno ( https://deno.land ) chose to basically follow a strategy not unlike Go and forego package.json and similar dependency manifests

I'm not good at graphing data, but isn't the graph exponential while the growth is almost flat or, at best, linear? They mention the graph is yearly but still their best period was 2017-2018, which is not accurately plotted. I&#x2

Typescript compiles perfecly to Duktape and the code is quite performant. We've used Duktape in production systems without any hickups for 2yrs+, first with Babel and now with TS. It serves us well as an intermediate migration platform

We tend to try to predict alien behavior basing it more or less on our own, 10000 year-long history. If intelligent life that travels the billion-old stars actually exists, I doubt we would be able to put their intentions and modus operandi
