Kids, don't forget: Use Rust, not Python. Playing with Python is not safe. (Don't worry, @penberg will live to code another day) https://t.co/CSdKy75Gky 11.3K views · 59 likes · 0 reposts · 9 replies Open on X →

i am quite close to going back to an autocomplete-only AI coding style. dead serious. i'm not sure the ostensible speed of agent-first coding is worth the brainrot, the laziness and the loss of code and architecture comprehension 73.9K views · 1.6K likes · 77 reposts · 105 replies Open on X →

@iavins Nope It called bootstrapping. The compiler is implemented in another language before writing it back in the original language. JVM for example is implemented in c/c++ but the graalvm is implemented in Java 907 views · 9 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies Open on X →

In the early days, Rust was implemented in OCaml That means Rust was the first project to get rewritten in Rust 78.7K views · 669 likes · 22 reposts · 20 replies Open on X →

For the past few months, I have been learning about internals of databases. I found many excellent articles on writing compilers, but I could not find many practical resources for databases. So I wrote one. CaskDB is the project I wish I had started with. https://t.co/95EcPAjP4w 0 views · 727 likes · 91 reposts · 10 replies Open on X →
