   This push to extend Flutter to be a UI solution for all kinds of platforms is really exciting. It looks like a huge piece of the puzzle is FFI support in the Dart VM, and it looks like they're working on it [0]. I think that basic supp

   I don't mean to be cynical, but the answer may be 'whichever language wins'. Maybe Google wants to support Dart because its built in-house, while simultaneously supporting Kotlin because it is so well loved by developers. Jus

   I'm stoked to see that others are interested in the article! The important bit for me is Richard D. James's interest in promoting microtonal music, and that Tatsuya and Korg were cool enough to implement it in a relatively cheap s

    I don't think it's unheard of though: my employer has their own Nuget package server for internal packages.

    I like it, but could there be some more instrumental elements? Ie, not just a piano, or a droning synth, but a piano with a droning synth!

    This led me to ranting drunkenly at Dan Abramov, and nobody wants that. I wish I was at that party.. But seriously, do hooks allow for components to act more like state machines? I'm gathering that from this: Hooks achieve what mixi

    _Godel_Escher_Bach_ by Douglas Hofstadter made me realize how everything I've found interesting in Art-music-math-science-nature-etc have interrelated features that can be explained from a logical/computational perspective. It pla

    Warning, anecdotes ahead: I tried to read SICP after about 6 months to a year after learning my first language, and I couldn't get past the part where they turn a recursive function into a tail-call eliminated 'iterator' styl

    I feel like one of the hallmarks of COBOL (imo) is that it was oriented around producing reports, or in other words its whole reason for existing was to do data transformations from inputs to outputs. Early versions of Algol (like early ver

    COBOL, z/OS, .NET. (Admittedly, I still have a lot left to learn about the first two). Rust and modern C++ in my free time for a personal project.

    Wow the visualizer linked too at the end ( http://georgeflanagin.com/visualizer.php ) creates some crazy patterns if you follow the instructions (segment 1 at 7 and segment 2 at 8 creates a shifting optical illusion). Neat!

    He's a genius but I think he's getting bitter about how people are happily sticking with static strongly typed languages. At the end of the day he's trying to sell people on using Clojure, so of course he's going to rip
