I receive webhooks all the time as ack that something was processed/ or a notification of the status of some sort of thing in an external system that we don't control.

I love Lisps, ML-family languages, etc. Languages like Java or Go are just painful for me to program in, and I know I’m probably in the minority there. But honestly, I think a lot …

I'm working on Glyph, Its a is a statically typed functional language in the ML family. Surface syntax is mostly SML-1997-ish, but underneath it's a different thing: simple-sub typ…

The BEAM virtual machine. Its has lightweight isolated processes, message passing, supervisors, hot-ish runtime introspection, and fault containment are not libraries bolted on lat…

Slight misunderstanding. The LLM didn't generate Zig. My compiler does. The model's work was in the Rust compiler internals, specifically the borrow-inference and refcount-insertio…

Yes, iit had access. Thats actually the point. I maintain a failure registry in the repo. Every failed attempt gets documented with the exact mechanism, the test that regressed, th…

I had almost the opposite experience. I'm building a compiler for a language without a tracing GC, so a big chunk of the work is around memory management: functional in-place updat…

Really depends of the ergonomics of the language. In erlang/elixir/beam langs etc, its incredibly ergonomic to write code that runs on distributed systems. you have to try really h…

he's taking a 50% paycut going from the US to Brussels, but its more than what he will be making in his home country i guess.

We have a really talented engineer on our team (in the US), who has a green card and everything. He's taking a job in Brussels, he said very plainly hes not sticking around to find…

Who is this for? Who is the target audience? Mac users/ Windows users?

I agree. Having children does make ones priorities very cut and dry. I found it a lot easier to "adult" once I had children. My Friends, at the time often asked, "Is having childre…

The project looks very young. I do like the goals of the project though, and I like that it's on the BEAM.

I've been using Alpha(as my main driver!) for a year now, there's been a few hiccups here and there but its been very good. I prefer this to Gnome. It's my main driver for software…

I can. it's called Erlang. true an false are just atoms.

I live a 20 minute walk away. I never tire of looking at it. When friends come to visit I usually skip the touristy stuff but I will always accompany them to go see the Sagrada Fam…
