   In this talk, Tom applies functional programming ideas to the problem of building an interactive music sequencer. Be sure to watch to the end; the demo is amazing! (PS: if you're out there Tom, I hope you're doing well!)

   I cherish this book, its fantastic. I love all of the tidbits about PL history in the margins, and its a great guide through the world of language design. If you're looking for a follow up, I might have a recommendation. I recently got

   +1. When I was following along in the book I wrote the interpeter in C#, and pattern matching allowed me to basically skip needing the code generator and the visitor pattern. YMMV but its great. Essentials of Compilation by Siek does a simi

   <humerous-speculating> What if Zuck made the Meta Quest Pro as a psy-op to get Apple to make a pro headset and waste resources, simply to get back at them for clamping down on user tracking? </humerous-speculating>

   Yeah. Googling it lead me to an old comment of mine about it, and Dan Roth mentioned this is their discussion on it https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/94420

    I was running to the comments to post this too. The Ininitone is an impressive mechanical achievement, but I think the glissotar has much more potential to catch on.

    Sort of a tangent, but I'm really stoked that Apple has uploaded all of their WWDC videos onto youtube. I am much more likely to watch them on there. I feel like it might be a part of them opening more things up around their platform d

    Really cool to see some neat stuff in C#. Somewhat of a tangent, but what does "kernel" mean in this sense? I'm aware of Operating System kernels, but am not sure what it means here.

    Hey Paul, thanks for sharing! Yes I think JUCE is great, It's very well made, but it drives you into a very narrow path of either using everything in the library, or leaving you to fend for yourself (which I admit may be a normal exper

    This is super neat and I am very interested! I'm in a rush so I can't look to closely now but I have a few questions (and please forgive any stupid questions, I'm not a graphics dev, just a hobbyist): What's the runtime

    I feel like a cross platform Swift GUI would be a great thing for the world. Swift strikes a great balance between ergonomics and performance, and seems to be the only other mainstream language to have absorbed some of Rust's key featu

    I thought he was so witty and refreshing when I read AntiFragile (which I will always regard as a masterpiece), but I feel like he's ran out of ideas now and is just complaining about people he doesn't like.

    I believe Haxe was made to replace flash. Not sure why it isn't more popular, but it has a lot of folks from the game community that use it.

    There's a lot of active research around rendering 2-d vector graphics with GPU tessellation (Raph Levien's work for instance), so this is pretty cool that they're shipping a product with this technique. I've never used R
