The haskell source has `let channel = "11"` vs `let channel = 11`. The example from the post is an example that looks like it should be pretty straight forward but the swift compil…

The type is an inferred integer literal in swift (in the swift standard this is the `ExpressibleByIntegerLiteral`, the string literals are `ExpressibleByStringLiteral` types). The …

Your example is different than the example in the post. Specifically, `channel = 11`, an integer. If it was a string then it parses very quickly.

You can use ‘atob’ and ‘btoa’ functions for some of that.

If you have a short lived CLI tool, disabling the GC might be useful but that’s likely an exceptional case.

I know most of these are compiler intrinsically but it’s good to have them standardized.

There is a setting in Preferences > Websites > Notifications to disable notifications entirely.

I dunno, then there would only be 2 actively maintained browser engines, Chrome and Firefox. Webkit is doing pretty good on https://wpt.fyi/interop-2022 so I'm not sure why Safari …

There is queueMicrotask ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/queueMicrot... ) to queue onto the end of the current iteration and you can use an `await 0;` to cycle th…

Node does support ESM now by default (and has supported it for a while behind a flag), https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html

If the object is not autoreleased then doing a release call will deallocate the object, otherwise it will be added to the nearest autorelease pool from the current stack and be dea…

The c++ wrappings break ARC, so if you use this library you'll have to manually retain/release any object. The autorelease pool is helpful if you autorelease an object but you'll n…

They went with a subset of C, its enough to write a working executable. Generally for a introduction tutorial to something as complex as writing a compiler a subset like what they …

TF can inline, but if it runs that optimization then the benchmark would be turned into a constant, so it wouldn't be measuring the call overhead of the way arguments are passed.

I think this is what WASM is meant to achieve. It allows for much more precise semantics without needing to parse an AST.

They didn't release the frameworks for those OSs. That's like how Catalysts runtime wasn't backported to older versions of macOS. They could decouple those frameworks from the OS, …

SwiftUI isn't tied to the OS version. It has a runtime API that should work with different versions of the OS. There were changes to the compiler that they didn't talk about until …

How about using a web browser with JavaScript? Maybe not the best language for someone new but its widely available.

'i' suffix are often used in languages for complex numbers. For example, in ruby '1i' evaluates to 0+1i as a complex number. I suspect they didn't want to conflate the two types.

Don't forget Opera is a re-skinned Chrome.
