the art is def ai generated, text seems okay thusfar?

Well it does suck for a huge list of reasons but specifically disqualifying for being the lingua franca would be it being controlled by microsoft

We write a lot of TypeScript at Cloudflare. It’s the lingua franca of software engineering.

This scares me more than Im able to admit, typescript sucks and in my opinion its way worse than the more commonly used lingua franca of computing, which I would attribute to C. At least C can be used to create shared objects i guess?

Each syscall taking 15ms on top of the normal considered costly time taken for context switching to the kernel seems excessivly slow, no?

Well i do use banking and netflix on graphene os on my pixel 8a and everything works perfectly

Hi, no it doesnt, this example of course breaks using temporary registers used after the optimisation. But thats why peephole is a fallback to ir optimisation, since they are only local.

I honestly didnt think of this possibility while building the optimisation. Since constant folding is done as an ir pass i will remove the peephole pass, thanks for noticing :)

I love jetbrains mono, together with go mono my favourite fonts

Im sorry i forgot to highlight the braces around (2+3)*(4-1);

Either way the parser isnt implemented yet and all ast examples for the compiler are hardcoded

Assembly requires way more work than compiling to, say C. Clang and gcc do a lot of the heavy lifting regarding optimisation, spilling values to the stack, etc

No clue what that is, I dont talk to hr

what a weird and mean comment, do better

the rust example is so far off being useful and file io seems completly dumb in this context

This, lisp is perfect for representing arbitrary data, nesting is just another sexpr, easy to produce, easy to parse and easy to debug / reason about

Its winter, it takes a literal second to fade out

I think rust macros could shine for this usecase, definitely on my TODO list

The snowflakes do vanish once you scroll down even a single pixel

Well it does, thats why i didnt include it

Same here, the website seems to be working fine on mobile tho

Well i guess thats what you get for using mcp instead of just opening the article and reading it

You are somewhat right, I used tagging masks to differntiate between different types of atoms [1]. But yes, interning will be backed by a correct implementation of a hashmap with some collision handling in the future.

I havent written a lot, but it needs to be fast so i can be motivated to program more by the fast iteration

Sadly that was one of the things I did benchmark, but didn't write down the results. I read a lot that naive switch is faster because the compiler knows how to optimise them better, but for my architecture and benchmarks the computed gotos were faster

Most of them, jump tables work in rust, mmapping too. deferred numeric parsing, keeping allocations to a minimum, string slices, interning and inline hashing all work in rust, go, c, c++; you name it.

Several possible reasons: - parallelism - concurrent machine code gen - different optimisations for different runs, producing differing machine code order, etc

sigma types, hmmm

It wont work because gov has no interest in not knowing which service the user is trying to authenticate themself to, it is in its interest to connect these informations. We see exactly these attempts every 2-4 years in the eu parliament.

I am not a native english speaker so I often forget to uppercase the 'I's

Thanks, i tried to go for a mimimalist cyberpunk inspired vibe - thus far i like it :)

Hi, author here, I just added the JSON macro to omit the quotation escaping around object keys and strings:

without JSON macro:

char* j = "{ \"key\": [\"value1\", \"value2\"]}";

with JSON macro:

char *j = JSON({ "key": ["value1", "value2"]});

But yes of course, due to the stringify no C values can be embedded - i wouldnt even know how one would solve this with a macro, but maybe someone has an idea and can comment on that.
