This video https://youtu.be/TBrPyy48vFI?t=1277 is a few years old, but it covers how the GRiSP platform combines Erlang and RTEMS Real-time OS [1] to overcome Erlang VM's soft real-time limitations and achieve hard rea

I think their DIDYOUKNOW.md file in the source code is worth showing in full, as it describes the language in a more compact form: --- # Did You Know? ## Language Did you know that: - Flix offers a unique combination of features, includin

This language seems to be aiming high. Congrats! Looking at their code however, I'm realizing one thing Elixir got "right", in my view, is the order of arguments in function calls. For example, in Elixir to retrieve the value

Sure, it's reasonable to consider a switch. But while Android devices have come a long way in terms of physical design, capabilities, UI/UX, etc, out of the box Apple still offers a more comprehensive, user friendly and privacy fo

This looks horrible to be honest. This new liquid glass will lead to liquid brain, because my brain will be melting trying to process all that visual mess daily. Now of course, I'll have to experience this new design in practice to be

Indeed. There’s a port for macOS though. And yet out all these newer C-like languages, it looks like Hare probably takes the crown for simplicity. Among other things, Hare uses QBE[1] as a backend compiler, which is about 10% the complexit

Has anyone tried both C3 and Hare[1]. How do they fare? There seems to be quite the overlap between the two. [1] https://harelang.org/

I think these are key thoughts worth considering going forward: > Code is not an asset, it's a liability. > Every line must be maintained, debugged, secured, and eventually replaced. The real asset is the business capabili

This looks promising! One suggestion to make it more usable: If I hover over a word in the foreign language, I should instantly see the equivalent word(s) in English highlighted. This way I can look up the words I do not know know very quic

Until now, the march of technology has taken place through a realm which was somewhat limited or slowed down only by our advancements in the physical and cognitive realities. This has given us ample time to catch up, to adjust. The cognitiv

Indeed, our trade has changed forever, and more specifically, we might have to alter our operational workflows in the entire industry as well. There are so many potential trajectories going forward for things to turn sour, I don't even

Rust is way faster than Elixir for CPU bound code, so it's nice to have the ability to sprinkle some Rust over your Elixir. * What are NIFs: https://www.erlang.org/doc/tutorial/nif.html * Using Rustler in Pro
