Dusting off some CSS skill, I'm somewhat pleased with the results.
This is my prototype for users being able to sign package releases using WebAuthN. Trying to get to a decentralized as is sensible package infrastructure.

EYG now has relative references and an IDE for multiple "files" of code. I'm using this IDE to improve the standard and JSON libraries much faster than before.
Demo shows how effects can be used to scope external service calls.

Algebraic effects are a great language feature. I keep finding new uses for them.
Here we have a specific effect for DNSimple that is handled to a generic Fetch call.
Keeps tokens out of application code. Adding proxy or stubbing in tests is also trivial

The density of this line-up and schedule is beautiful. Should be awesome.

What was that famous quote?
I'm sorry about the duration of my events. If I had more time I'd make them shorter.. I think that was it.

Using EYG as a scripting language for an LLM. Capabilities or effects are nice for sandboxing generated code.

Hi @netlify.com every month since July you have lost my card details and required me to update my billing details.
See the successful billings in this list of billing notices. I've also raised a ticket to ensure that it's updated.
Today you lost them again and suspended my projects.

Why not build your own implementation of the BEAM, or drive your browser from Gleam.

Last year I had great fun explaining effects and handlers in this 5 minute lightning talk at @codebeam.bsky.social EU

Today I'm going to try and explain type safe code reloading in 5 minutes.

I can't be the only one doing this.
All the articles and blogs I'm reading I first transform to a markdown file.
I'm using the @cloudflare.social browser rendering API to do this, but I'm sure there's other options.

The main trigger was wanting to keep a copy of what I read.

I've been accepted to give another (shorter this time) talk about eyg.run

I need to start sharing more that it works well with AI.
1. easy to sandbox
2. expression local dependencies.

Even better both of these features really help humans.

EYG is a programming language for predictable, useful and most of all confident development.
