I did it this way so that the implementation doesn't need to know about the interface at all. The programmers can string the interface and implementation together with, const intf = interface.implBy(implementation) This makes it

Yes. You're right. It's not the typical C++ vtable. I wrote a second blog for the C++ style vtable. https://williamw520.github.io/2025/07/17/memory-efficient-zi... The first version is faster (one

Ah. The birth era of creative accounting. I remember companies shipped empty CD and booked it as revenue for the quarter. The actual software when ready was delivered as a “patch”.

Effect system allows programmers to annotate expressions that can have certain effects, just like the type system annotating type information on them, so compilers can enforce effect rules just like enforcing type rules. For example for a t

This is awesome. It's actually pretty quick. Major kudos.

Used to just be a dash, like re-elect. Cooperate was co-operate. People got tired of writing dashes and they got shortened.

If I were asked this question, the first thing I said would be this is a poorly designed architecture. Client is the poor place to do throttling by itself. It has no information on the aggregated load of the system. It makes assumption that

It's not a functor; "map" is bind. Here's an example in non-Haskell as I was addressing non-Haskell audience. class Maybe { value: int; static wrap(v: int) { return new Maybe { value = v } }

Nice video. I especially like the new 'labeled switch' feature providing a freeform control flow, and the watch/incremental compile feature. I used to use Rust's watchexec to do zig build on changes; now the watch featur

That's excellent! Thanks for the changes.

One issue I have with the old reader/writer pattern is that it is not easy to store them in a struct. Reader and writer are passed into a function as 'anytype' which implements any of the read() or write() functions. Often

Here is an analogy. List is a container whose elements can be any type. There are general operations applying to a list, e.g. map, reduce, filter, find, etc. Any data type (int, float, or bool) of list elements can use these same operations

Sounds like great timing. See if it can help.

Nice. Didn't realize zig build has --watch and -fincremental added. I was mostly using "watchexec -e zig zig build" for recompile on file changes.

The idea is not completely without merit. In gravity less environment, you can have much bigger and much thinner structure possible than on Earth. Also the radiated heat from the Sun won't have much effect if the heat sink panels are f

Is comptime slowness really an issue? I'm building a JSON-RPC library and heavily relying on comptime to be able to dispatch a JSON request to arbitrary function. Due to strict static typing, there's no way to dynamically dispatch

I use LLM as a super Stackoverflow. So far it has been helpful. For code gen, 8 out of 10 cases, the code won't compile and need fixing. LLM did help a lot in learning new topics. Gemini did help tremendously recently in pointing out a

Really don’t need an electrician. Just plug in to an outlet on the wall or an extension power strip. Don’t need a plumber as well. It’s really easy to install.
