A few weeks ago, I was finally able to upgrade my Internet connection from a Starlink 100-200 Mbps (with an ADLS2 backup) to a 8 Gbps up/down Fiber connection with the Free Ultra box offer. By doing so, I decided also to revisit my internal…
In the middle of my holidays, I was browsing my Mastodon feed and found an interesting challenge, small enough that I don't have to spend days to figure this out, but also interesting because even such small problem is leading to some "tric…
I haven't been blogging for a while, and this post is not going to be a real blog post! But I wanted to share an old presentation I made a few years ago at my company about Comments in code, as I think that it is worth sharing beyond an inn…
This is the second part of the blog post series about The Odyssey of Stark and Melody and more specifically, about the development of a prototype of the native compiler for the Stark language developed during last year. As we saw previously…
This is the first part of the blog post series about The Odyssey of Stark and Melody and more specifically, about the development of the syntax of the Stark language and its front-end compiler, based on a fork of the C# Roslyn compiler, dur…
What would it take these days to build a prototype of a new language and operating system built on top of it, just for fun? This idea started to emerge during the 2018 winter holidays: Woot! I just hacked the "Building an Operating System f…
Last year I made a presentation to Unite LA, the dotnetos conference in Warsaw and to the dotnext conference in Moscow of the burst compiler that we have been working on for the past two years at Unity The burst compiler is a technology aim…
This is a quick post to give you some feedback about an experiment I just made with the Scriban Text Templating Library to add support for async/await automatically from the existing synchronous code, all of this done by using Roslyn. If yo…
As you may know, in .NET CoreCLR (and Mono), the JIT has been entirely written in C/C++. That's sometimes even a joke used by C++ developers to remind the enthusiastic C# developer crowd that their ecosystem is being actually ran by C++. An…
NOTE: This work was a prototype as we don't have yet an official roadmap and timetable in mind to bring this to Unity, more on that later this year hopefully ;) This blog post is also my own opinionated vision on the subject, but Unity may
Last year, before developing markdig, I spent a few weeks developing a brand new text templating language and engine called scriban. Though, while I have received a few enthusiastic feedback on this project, I haven't taken the time to prom…
May be surprisingly, my first post about language design for Stark (beyond tokens for the grammar part) is not going to walk through the type system, statements or expressions... But instead focus on how to organize the code of a project/li…
