   Can I just rant for a second about how much I hate the whole `<starting-letter-of-a-word-><count-of-inner-letters><ending-letter-of-a-word>` trend that folks seem to love? This intentional sort of obfuscation makes it hard

   Did switching from "everything is synchronous" to "everything is asynchronous" break a lot of other UniFFI users? I keep hearing people recommend UniFFI as the solution for Easy-FFI ™, but that sounds like a drastic cha

   Yes this is partly an ad for sourcegraph's product Cody, but it is another amazing Blog/Rant/Confession by the great Steve Yegge. I have no affiliation with sourcegraph, I'm just a huge Yegge fan. I hope you enjoy.

   Hey idk if Rich reads HN but if you do thank you for being a huge inspiration to me when I first started programming around 2014. You've helped change the world for the better. Cheers!

    > I do not take Rust to be remotely the final word in this space. It is the first memory safe systems language to be successful at industrial scale — not the last! I think this side note is the most interesting tidbit, because I agree.

    This is pretty neat to see Apple involved in a standard. They don't like to back everything that comes along. What is very interesting though, is that Meta isn't involved. Maybe because they're backing another horse, namely

    I think that once the WASM-GC is standardized and shipped (and perhaps once WASM can directly talk to the DOM), JavaScript will lose some dominance. I think a lot of folks will stick with it, personally, but I'm excited that more langu

    Speaking of Rust UI, do you have any favorites? I've been casually watching for a long time but haven't seen a clear winner there besides Iced or egui.

    I'm a C# dev but I don't really have faith in Microsoft sticking with any UI library longer than 5 years. They even seem to have embraced React Native to make their own products. I'd go with Avalonia if I picked a C# UI, but
