Glad to see this showing up every few years. After its initial launch, I think I helped the creator add the localization and lightspeed features: https://joshworth.com/updates-to-t…

Awesome! It's surreal to see a familiar name making such a neat app. I saw this earlier today and had a small moment of triumph since I'm terrible at solving sudokus myself. A few …

Are you the same yeldarb as the one from kirupaForum?

It's documented. I used to be very fluent in the AS3LR, and I found it in a minute or two here: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionsc... The formal language …

I'm excited to see that Alex Warth is involved with this. In my late undergrad days, I was really excited by his OMeta language. It turned out that I'm actually really bad at writi…

There was a funny discussion on an MIT mailing list this summer when an (apparently) tone-deaf email was sent out by MIT Professional Education entitled "4 Ways You May Be Enabling…

Writing valid XHTML was good practice for writing valid XSLT. Browsers would definitely choke on invalid XSL. I remember spending a fair amount of time looking at that pale yellow …

There's an official specification for what and how a program that claims to be a JVM implementation should operate given Java bytecode. So someone writing a language that compiles …

> I wrote the sorting algorithm in as3isolib Oh neat. I don't recognize your username, but I submitted the first entry in the logo contest for that library in 2008, which ended up …

You're right about Fireworks. Some people do like to use the Flash authoring environment for general web graphic work, even though that's not its primary intent. A friend of mine s…

You're right to point out the cultural divide w.r.t. tooling. It just seems to me that when two different people come up with pretty identical names for something and focus an essa…

Ah, great; thanks for pointing out that it has changed. The last time I looked at Rust in detail was mid-April, so I hadn't seen that.

The author's term "anti-sloppy programming" immediately brought to mind a former colleague's paper, aptly-titled "Sloppy Programming" [1]. Interestingly, Rust is a programming lang…

Might you go back when ES6 is widely supported by browsers / Node? I don't mind either way, but since the parent comment mentioned that arrow functions were coming to JS, it was in…

Nah, it's real. Adobe had a WebGL competitor, Stage3D, at the time, but I didn't work on that at all. As an intern, I would run a few useful benchmarks per day, but it was more rel…

I haven't worked anywhere with tasty nearby brownies since then. =-/ I know I ate something unhealthy often at the Stata Center's cafe, but I think it was a large cookie that didn'…

It was just for fun. Part of my job at the time was evaluating benchmarks, so things like the water simulation were on my mind. I don't remember if there were microwaves on each fl…

Sure thing. I was an intern at Adobe working on a new programming language. The office has a cafeteria, and I would often buy lunch there and get a brownie to save for later. I lik…
