mischievous finding from a conversation in plcord today: zig's fancy new compiler backend - the entire point of which is to compile faster than the existing LLVM one - takes more than *twice as long* as clang -O0 in total user time 🙃

benchmark is 10k quicksort functions

clover ofc trashes both 😎

thinking about all the cool parts of zero ranger i wish i could play again but instead im honor-bound to 1cc it and i suck at shmups so i exclusively get to experience the first half of the game

anyway play zero ranger its like if there was an indie game that was fun to play

really cool that "add to queue" on youtube now means that video gets scheduled after 25 other "ai-curated" entries on a playlist you didn't ask for (and one of them is probably by mr beast)

when i write 8086 assembly programs I often find myself relying on the REP instruction. i think that makes me a "repper"

jonathan blow being platformed at lambdaconf is just the most extreme example of a pattern i've noticed for a while, where a clade of people exists who define "functional programming" as "using one of the Good languages", and every other paradigm is just when you use a Bad language

it's so funny to me how intense the scala community is. imagine making a reality show about clang libstdc++ maintainers and buying twitter ads for it, and that the reason you would do this is to fight your personal culture war against the gcc libstdc++ maintainers. that's how scala is in real life

i don't actually disagree with this person on any major issues but there's no single thing that more instantly outs you as reputation-obsessed than bringing up "yeah, i coded in high school 😎" years after the fact

whew. had to make a surprising number of backend changes for this, but Clover has sum types and pattern matching now :)

tragically realizing C/C++ style #include is actually pretty goated as an language feature

this is why i'm making the andrew yang of programming languages
ultimately i think there's good reasons to like haskell or functional programming or whatever but i feel like people should reflect on why they like the things they like and actually interrogate that and be cognizant of if it's for reasons they're okay with
