@Harmonizr recommended a great talk by Jonathan Blow - game designer of Braid and The Witness. The main point is that it’s easy to lose the knowledge, and it’s happening right now in the software industry.

Esoteric programming languages are different. Some are frightening, like Madness. Some are funny, like FiM++. But I've never seen anything as disgusting as Folders. There are no source code files in Folders, just Windows folders hierarchy, and this hierarchy defines our program.

An entertaining talk with a brief history of different programming languages, a nice complement for your evening: "Why Isn't Functional Programming the Norm?"

Frightening yet very interesting overview of different problems you will face trying to adapt your product to different languages.

Well, Kotlin 1.7.0 is out. Feels like an intermediary release. Smells like teen spirit. I wonder, where this T & Any syntax in generics will lead us to.

Not sure how to summarize this post. Author shares his thoughts on soft and languages, experiments with UI-frameworks, and, finally, implements a JVM language. It's a longread, but it's worth it.

Nice talk! Jack Rusher - Stop Writing Dead Programs. Why do we write programs the way we do?

Stumbled upon this nice github repo: a collection of posts describing how to implement something. BitTorrent client? Be my guest. Cryptocurrency? Easy. Your own shell? You're welcome.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome JEP 430: String Templates!
They've decided to bring something like string interpolation to Java, but to do it BETTER than everyone else.
The result is, well, quite surprising:
String s = STR."\{x} + \{y} = \{x + y}";

Wow, C23 standard is out. There are a lot of things, I know that I cannot comprehend it all, but "Constants true, false, and nullptr are now language keywords" fills me with a pleasant warmth.

Year '23. War. Financial crisis. Earthquakes. PHP is ready for a rematch. They even built this website that'll tell you how good new PHP actually is. Well, I don't know about the new one, but let me share with y'all this picture about the old one.

A nice talk about building more reliable, easier to understand and self-repairing (to some extent) systems using Erlang. I do not recommend reading the transcript, just watch the video, it's not too long.

An interesting example of what's possible with modern compilers. The post is about Dafny lang, it can prove or disprove in compile time certain assertions we add to our code.

This one is just for fun. A game. Programming Language Inventor or Serial Killer. Take a look at the photo, have you seen this person?
