An exploration of same-node code sharing across languages through three boundaries (in-process gRPC over protobuf, WebAssembly modules, and FFI), why WebAssembly is the most versatile, and how platform and performance decide which one you use.
A Swift admirer's deep dive into why the actor model feels like it stops short of full isolation, why Rust reaches data-race freedom without any actors at all, and why adding strict, safe concurrency to a mature language is a monumental engineering pursuit worth praising.
Swift might be my favorite language, striking a rare balance between low-level and high-level features, yet I've never been able to use it professionally. This is why, and what it takes for a language to break out of its home ecosystem.
A practical guide to choosing programming languages for frontend, CLI, and server development with decision matrices that account for modern LLM-assisted development.
Reflecting on my experience using AI coding tools since Claude Opus 4.5, contrasting Rust and scripting language development, and insights on multi-agent workflows.
