With pen and paper, anyone can write a journal entry, draw a diagram, perform a calculation, or sketch a cartoon. Digital tablets like the iPad or reMarkable can adapt pen and paper into the world of digital media. In doing so, they trade away some of paper’s advantages like cheapness and tangibility. In exchange, we get new computational powers like nondestructive editing and ease of transmission
AST vs. Bytecode: Interpreters in the Age of Meta-Compilation
233 AST vs. Bytecode: Interpreters in the Age of Meta-Compilation OCTAVE LAROSE, University of Kent, UK SOPHIE KALEBA, University of Kent, UK HUMPHREY BURCHELL, University of Kent, UK STEFAN MARR, University of Kent, UK Thanks to partial evaluation and meta-tracing, it became practical to build language implementations that reach state-of-the-art peak performance by implementing only an interprete
Syntax Highlighting in Hand-Coded Websites The problem I have been trying to identify practical reasons why hand-coding websites with HTML and CSS is so hard (by hand-coding, I mean not relying on frameworks, generators or 3rd party scripts that modify the DOM). Let's say, I want to make a blog. What are the actual things that prevent me from making—and maintaining—it by hand? What would it take t
Introduction to Spherical Harmonics for Graphics Programmers
This post requires JavaScript to properly render mathematics (like $\int f(x) dx$, $Y_\ell^m$). It's not likely to work in your browser's "reader mode". On your computer graphics journey, you will eventually run into some paper or code mentioning spherical harmonic functions. They are indeed a very useful tool: with just a few coefficients, they allow us to approximate a given function defined on
syntaxdesign
One of the most recognizable features of a languages is its syntax. What are some of the things about syntax that matter? What questions might you ask if you were creating a syntax for your own language? Motivation A programming language gives us a way structure our thoughts. Each program, has a kind of internal structure, for example: How can we capture this structure? One way is directly, via pi

Introduction HTML, the programming language, is a practical, turing-complete[1], stack-based programming language based on HTML, the markup language. It uses elements defined in HTML, the markup language, in order to do computations. To give you a sense of what HTML, the programming langauge, looks like, below is a sample program that prints the values from 1 to 10 to standard out (console.log) A
Look-up-tables, more commonly referred to as LUTs, are as old as Mathematics itself. The act of precalculating things into a row or table is nothing new. But in the realm of graphics programming, this simple act unlocks some incredibly creative techniques, which both artists and programmers found when faced with tough technical hurdles. We’ll embark on a small journey, which will take us from simp
research!rsc: Floating-Point Printing and Parsing Can Be Simple And Fast (Floating Point Formatting, Part 3)
Introduction A floating point number f has the form f=m·2e where m is called the mantissa and e is a signed integer exponent. We like to read numbers scaled by powers of ten, not two, so computers need algorithms to convert binary floating-point to and from decimal text. My 2011 post “Floating Point to Decimal Conversion is Easy” argued that these conversions can be simple as long as you don’t car
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
Preamble In the expanding world of AI my heart still lies in AST transforms, browser fingerprinting, and anti-bot circumvention. In fact, that's the majority of this blog's content. But my workflow always felt... primitive. I was still manually sifting through page scripts, pasting suspicious snippets into an editor, and writing bespoke deobfuscators by hand. Tools like Webcrack and deobfuscate.io
I recently discovered that you could make PS2 games in JavaScript. I’m not even kidding, it’s actually possible. I was working on a project and had my phone near my desk when I received a notification. Upon further inspection, it came from itch.io which was a platform where I usually published most of my web games. Under my relatively popular Sonic infinite runner game which was made in JavaScript
It’s that time of year: time to start winding down for the winter holiday season, time to reflect on the past year, and time to think about what we can accomplish together in 2024. The Wasmtime and Cranelift projects are no exception. This article recounts Wasmtime and Cranelift progress in 2023 and explores what we might do in 2024. Wasmtime is a standalone WebAssembly runtime. It is fast, secure
Why APL is a language worth knowing
“A language that doesn't affect the way you think about programming, is not worth knowing.”, by Alan J. Perlis.
