I receive webhooks all the time as ack that something was processed/ or a notification of the status of some sort of thing in an external system that we don't control.

I love Lisps, ML-family languages, etc. Languages like Java or Go are just painful for me to program in, and I know I’m probably in the minority there. But honestly, I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that syntax carries semantic ex

I'm working on Glyph, Its a is a statically typed functional language in the ML family. Surface syntax is mostly SML-1997-ish, but underneath it's a different thing: simple-sub type inference, algebraic effects, modular implicits,

The BEAM virtual machine. Its has lightweight isolated processes, message passing, supervisors, hot-ish runtime introspection, and fault containment are not libraries bolted on later. They are the substrate. not an after thought. if you are

Slight misunderstanding. The LLM didn't generate Zig. My compiler does. The model's work was in the Rust compiler internals, specifically the borrow-inference and refcount-insertion passes (Perceus-style ownership analysis). Zig i

Yes, iit had access. Thats actually the point. I maintain a failure registry in the repo. Every failed attempt gets documented with the exact mechanism, the test that regressed, the revert SHA, and an instruction to start from that frontier

I had almost the opposite experience. I'm building a compiler for a language without a tracing GC, so a big chunk of the work is around memory management: functional in-place update, reuse analysis, and a Perceus-style reference-counti

Really depends of the ergonomics of the language. In erlang/elixir/beam langs etc, its incredibly ergonomic to write code that runs on distributed systems. you have to try really hard to do the inverse. Java's ergonomics, eve

he's taking a 50% paycut going from the US to Brussels, but its more than what he will be making in his home country i guess.

We have a really talented engineer on our team (in the US), who has a green card and everything. He's taking a job in Brussels, he said very plainly hes not sticking around to find out what happens next. I don't blame him.

I agree. Having children does make ones priorities very cut and dry. I found it a lot easier to "adult" once I had children. My Friends, at the time often asked, "Is having children hard?" I often replied, in the beginni

The project looks very young. I do like the goals of the project though, and I like that it's on the BEAM.

:disksup.get_disk_info/1 (from :os_mon) just calls into the underlying OS once, grabs the info, and returns it. It’s not a blocking “long-running monitor” the way a NIF doing I/O in a scheduler thread would be. https://

because the author self admitted they don't know C! One of the reason why people use the Beam VM is because its robust and fault tolerant. a lot of the choice here are made at the expense of VM's health. also why wouldn't any

I love his channel. I have no interest in this subject but I like his style of lecturing and showing/teaching. I watch all his stuff when it drops.
