🚧 Pardon our dust while we transition our blog to our new website. Go 1.18 is here, and with it, the first release of the long-awaited implementation of Generics is finally ready for production usage. Generics are a frequently requested feature that has been highly contentious throughout the Go community. On the one side, vocal detractors worry about the added complexity. They fear the inescapabl

Over the course of my Spring 2020 semester at Harvey Mudd College, I developed a self-hosting compiler entirely from scratch. This article walks through many interesting parts of the project. It’s laid out so you can just read from beginning to end, but if you’re more interested in a particular topic, feel free to jump there. Or, take a look at the project on GitHub. Table of contents What the pro
Tier 4 Support § Support for these targets is entirely experimental. If this target is provided by LLVM, LLVM may have the target as an experimental target, which means that you need to use Zig-provided binaries for the target to be available, or build LLVM from source with special configure flags. zig targets will display the target if it is available. This target may be considered deprecated by

Last year I finally decided to learn some Rust. The official book by Steve Klabnik and Carol Nichols is excellent, but even after reading it and working on some small code exercises, I felt that I needed more to really understand the language. I wanted to work on a small project to get some hands-on experience, but most of my ideas didn’t feel very well suited for Rust. Then I started reading the
Introduction This article focuses on tasks that application programmers are likely to encounter, particularly in web applications, such as: Reading and writing text files Reading text, images, JSON from the web Visiting files in a directory Reading a ZIP file Creating a temporary file or directory The Java API supports many other tasks, which are explained in detail in the Java I/O API tutorial.

V Language Review (2022)
V is a programming language promising to be “Simple, fast, safe, compiled. For developing maintainable software.” V has a controversial past but what is the state of V in 2022? Is V worth checking out? In this post, we’ll take a look at V as it exists in May 2022. TLDR Read the summary Rules of engagement I’ll be using the current version of V built from git which is 50ab2cfd1ae02d4f4280f38c60b8db
Reading the excellent article by JeanHeyd Meneide on how broken string encoding in C/C++ is made me realise that Unicode is a topic that is often overlooked by a large number of developers. In my experience, there’s a lot of confusion and wrong expectations on what Unicode is, and what best practices to follow when dealing with strings that may contain characters outside of the ASCII range. This a

Or, how I learned to stop worrying and love glue code Daniel Ehrenberg Is WebAssembly (Wasm) really ready for production usage in web applications, even though that usage requires integration with a web page and the APIs used to manipulate it, such as the DOM? Simultaneously, the answer to this question is that "Wasm

Type Parameters Proposal
Ian Lance Taylor Robert Griesemer August 20, 2021 StatusThis is the design for adding generic programming using type parameters to the Go language. This design has been proposed and accepted as a future language change. We currently expect that this change will be available in the Go 1.18 release in early 2022. AbstractWe suggest extending the Go language to add optional type parameters to type an

This book was distributed at the FIDO Authenticate conference in 2024. Its intended format was as a PDF, which you can find here. The following is the contents of the PDF converted to HTML. 1: Introduction Passwords are rubbish. If you’re reading this book then hopefully you’re already on board with this idea, but let’s recap anyway. The typical practice with passwords is to remember a few differe
Introduction: Density Is King (With a Tiny VM) I've previously come to the conclusion that there's little reason for using bytecode in the modern world, except in order to get more compact code, for which it can be very effective. So, what kind of a bytecode engine will give you more compact code? Suppose I want a bytecode interpreter for a very small programming environment, specifically to minim

Large Text Compression Benchmark Matt Mahoney Last update: Mar. 25, 2026. history This competition ranks lossless data compression programs by the compressed size (including the size of the decompression program) of the first 109 bytes of the XML text dump of the English version of Wikipedia on Mar. 3, 2006. About the test data. The goal of this benchmark is not to find the best overall compress
Thoughts on Rust hashing
December 12, 2024 Reddit IRLOIn languages like Python, Java, or C++, values are hashed by calling a “hash me” method on them, implemented by the type author. This fixed-hash size is then immediately used by the hash table or what have you. This design suffers from some obvious problems, like: How do you hash an integer? If you use a no-op hasher (booo), DoS attacks on hash tables are inevitable. I
Following up from the last post, there is a lot more we need to cover. This was intended to be the post where we talk exclusively about benchmarks and numbers. But, I have unfortunately been perfectly taunted and status-locked, like a monster whose “aggro” was pulled by a tank. The reason, of course, is due to a few folks taking issue with my outright dismissal of the C and C++ APIs (and not showi

What D-Bus is D-Bus serves various purposes aiming to facilitate the cooperation between different processes in the system. This article will describe D-Bus and how it performs this function. From the D-Bus creators definition: D-Bus is a message bus system, a simple way for applications to talk to one another. In addition to interprocess communication, D-Bus helps coordinate process lifecycle; it
