O_H_Eon Show HN: Pop.com – pair programming with low-latency, Screenhero-style sharing

While reading this[1] I just remembered you guys and thought I'd throw in the idea of compiling your "native" code to WebAssembly, in case it might fit your case.

O_H_Eon Project Jupyter Celebrates 20 Years, Fernando Pérez Reflects on How It Started

Oh wow, I just realized that Pluto's ability to track dependencies—and thus cells could be written "out of order"—would also fulfill Knuth's idea of code being presented in an order more ideal for humans to read, that is different from execution order.

O_H_Eon Ask HN: Tips for Writing Clean Code

I understand what you (and @Communitivity) are saying. I know that feeling when code reads a bit like prose, but I'd seriously appreciate examples of public code that reads as clearly as prose

O_H_Eon Zig cc: A drop-in replacement for GCC/Clang (2020)

interesting paragraph on why the builds are so small.

> You can download a 45 MiB tarball, unpack it, and you're done. You can even have multiple versions at the same time, no problem......Compare this to downloading Clang, which has 380 MiB Linux-distribution-specific tarballs. Zig's Linux tarballs are fully statically linked, and therefore work correctly on all Linux distributions. The size difference here comes because the Clang tarball ships with more utilities than a C compiler, as well as pre-compiled static libraries for both LLVM and Clang. Zig does not ship with any pre-compiled libraries; instead it ships with source code, and builds what it needs on-the-fly.

> Can it be used for c++ code?

Yup! https://github.com/ziglang/zig/commit/db17c0d88c44183b306099...

> Also we build LLVM tip of tree from scratch...

I would have also thought it would be non-trivial (Julia uses LLVM and has some non-backwards compatible patches) but this paragraph intrigued me:

>> At the time of this writing, LLVM 10 was just released two hours ago. It will take days or weeks for it to become available in various system package managers. But you can already download a master branch build of Zig and play with the new features of Clang/LLVM 10. For example, improved RISC-V support!

I found this for LLVM 12 (released April 14) https://github.com/ziglang/zig/commit/5a3ea9beced660c9cc463b... https://github.com/ziglang/zig/commit/e248de93a07fd6a7f48581... https://github.com/ziglang/zig/commit/6a7f21d1b8ca5c082c804e... https://github.com/ziglang/zig/commit/1438c324a460789f1004a3...

Huh, that does make sense to me.

tbh, I think adults suffer from the same thing, maybe to a lesser extent.

That is Julia for you: https://julialang.org/blog/2012/02/why-we-created-julia/

\s? :D

I understand that you (and I for that matter) can't stop using python altogether rn. Just wanted to point out that these two desirable qualities where build into Julia from the get go.
