Andrew Kelley quit his job in 2018 to build a programming language. Eight years later, Zig powers Ghostty, TigerBeetle and Uber's cross-compilation. It's top 5 most admired on Stack Overflow. There's just one thing missing: 1.0. Andrew Kelley explains why.…

In 2004 I played too much RuneScape on a 56k modem that died the moment Mum picked up the phone. A 3D world, up to a couple of thousand players on a server, dozens on screen at once - in the browser, on 5 kilobytes per second. It worked. Let’s follow a single…

Representing fold (sequential accumulation) as map composed with a reduce over a monoid, non-trivially and efficiently. This is a bedrock of parallel programming: however, although the general principle is known, applying it to concrete problems requires…

The Only Programming Language Built on Mathematics, Not Fashion

Learn how servers actually work by building a tiny TCP server and client from scratch. A hands-on introduction to sockets, TCP, and the network programming model every backend, DevOps, and platform engineer should go through at least once.

Every time a software estimate is inflated to absorb uncertainty and daily overhead, it stops measuring actual time and turns into a messy abstraction. Once your "hours" and "days" become a proxy for effort rather than the clock, you are already using Story…

The underappreciated gem of /proc/<pid>/mem

The attacker compromised the @redhat-cloud-services GitHub Actions OIDC trusted publisher to ship patch-client@4.0.4 with a Mini Shai-Hulud worm. The same…

I reverse-engineered the Pizza Tycoon win condition from the original executable, and found a bug. Or a marketing ploy?

My blog, mostly about programming

I have spent a large portion of my career working in Java. In that time, you get used to huge classes. New functionality? Just add a new method and field to the class. The cost of each new field is rarely considered. Performance is often considered from a…
