This chapter is a culmination of many macro techniques we have looked at so far in this book. Using macro abstractions we have developed, we create an implementation of one of my favourite programming languages: forth. Although this implementation embodies most of the important ideas of forth, it is very different and lispy. Though there are certain interesting uses for the code in this chapter, its primary purpose is to teach the concepts and fundamentals of forth meta-programming to a lisp ... Read more ›

Rust's ownership model and type system offer strong memory safety guarantees, but unsafe code and runtime panics still present significant risks. Formal verification is essential to ensure memory safety, but developing verification harnesses remains a challenging and manual task. Although large language models (LLMs) have shown strong performance in various code analysis tasks, directly applying them to harness generation often results in inac... Read more ›

Forth is uncommonly used to teach programming to kids. Scripting languages like Python and visual environments like Scratch are far more popular options. But when I got the opportunity to introduce middle and high school students to programming, I chose the stack-oriented concatenative language from 1970. I was ecstatic about this opportunity. I'm passionate about giving people just a bit more control over the potential locked up in the devices they carry with them every day. When people know... Read more ›

antirez 23 minutes ago\. 456 views\. ``` (This blog post was adapted from the transcription obtained from my YouTube video at When Linus Torvalds developed the first Linux kernel, he had studied the Minix sources, he had studied computer architecture, he had the base knowledge needed, and he was obviously a very brilliant programmer. But that operation of writing a minimal yet working Unix kernel for the 386 (at the beginning Linux was, let's say, mono-architecture) was something within the... Read more ›
Microsoft is increasing the minimum and recommended system requirements for Minecraft for the first time, 17 years after it launched. Although the system upgrade is quite reasonable and the hardware falls squarely within the most popular components in the most recent Steam Hardware Survey, those playing with a bare-minimum PC would have to upgrade their systems.

In this new article series, we explore the functional programming language paradigm: what it is, how it differs from other paradigms, and what are the advantages of structuring your programs in a functional manner. We will explore all these topics through the lens of creating a brand-new functional programming language from scratch, and seeing how the constraints of functional programming shape its design.

Multipath QUIC (MPQUIC) enables simultaneous uplink transmission over heterogeneous access networks such as Wi-Fi and LTE, improving reliability and performance. However, aggressive LTE utilization increases operational cost, creating an inherent trade-off between upload delay and cellular usage. Existing MPQUIC schedulers typically optimize a single performance objective and operate at fixed points within this trade-off space, without explicitl... Read more ›
