A Lua wrapped, low level, manual memory language that's JIT compiled. Very unusual 👀
I guess theoretically with something like this you could get continuous profile guided optimisation, but not sure if this actually does that. It uses LLVM for JIT.

Excellent table 👌 definitely want to use whitespace more for data presentation. www.mcmaster.com/products/nut...

Made my own wee coding colour scheme which I'm quite happy with :)

Strong types are great, but the way they do it in Rust is bordering on mathsturbation

Anthropic claiming their code is now 100% written by AI, and to be honest it shows. The Claude Code TUI runs like shit.

Kind of frustrating the only tool in the box to avoid GC pressure in JS is ArrayBuffer et al. Would love to force an object to behave like a struct. Instead you have to do stuff like this
coords = [x, y, x, y, x, y]
Still, at least some form of manual memory management and layout is possible.
coords = [x, y, x, y, x, y]

I wonder is anyone actually taking advantage of the universal memory architecture of the M series chips? You could write some crazy high performance software on these things.

Think I might go back to Deno after Bun sold to Anthropic. A server runtime that's broadly compatible with web standards is probably the better idea anyway.

One thing that confuses me about GitHub commit signing with SSH keys, you can only use an SSH key in one account, which means commits signed with that key are validating that this account wrote this, rather than this identity. Feels a bit broken. Just let me add an SSH key to multiple accounts!

From my dream journal: "Dream involves Keir Starmer. A cool synth based on body movements operated by Louis Theroux, and Starmer trying to use it to rebuild his image."

If you were writing music in the 80's, it seems you really needed one to slap out some notes on a keyboard. It was the key instrument. They were the new bassist.

The price of SSDs has gotten kind of absurd. To be honest I kind of forgot that hard drives exist and are still sold. You can get 1GB for just under 2p now if you get an external HDD. I'm seriously considering it 👀

Deploying articles via GPG signed email. Dealing with gpg/mime email is an absolute pain by the way. Gotta fart around with UInt8Array<ArrayBuffer>> or else the message will end up malformed, and you'll get BAD signature :(

I've been looking into alternative approaches to SCM and code review recently. I'm getting sick of GitHub, GitLab, etc. being completely focused on AI slop rather than their core product.
Here's some alternatives I've been having a look at this past week or two:
