• Simple JSON parser in c++, rust, ocaml, standard ml

  Once I got the parser ready in OCaml, I thought I port it to Standard ML, since it belong to the same ML language family. I was also curious on how well mlton could optimise it. The language lacks custom let bindings, so I resorted to use Result.bind manually. This makes code much less readable and more verbose. The standard library also lacks result type, so I had to come up with my own simple implementation.... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

• Ante: A low-level functional language

  If you’re fine with tracing GC (which depends on the situation, of course), Standard ML is a perfectly boring language (that IIUC predated and inspired Caml) and MLton[1] is a very nice optimizing compiler for it. The language is awkward at times (in particular, the separate sublanguage of modules can be downright unwieldy), and the library has some of the usual blind spots such as nonexistent Unicode support... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Write your own programming language in an hour with Chumsky

  Unfortunately, I haven't found a ton of "easily-digestible" and, at the same time, comprehensive guides on compiling functional languages. Generally you'll find a mix of blog posts/class notes/papers covering a single step. Some resources I like: - Andrew Kennedy's 2007 paper Compiling with Continuations, Continued [1]. This one is the most clear IMO - Andrew Appel's Compiling with Continuations book... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Why are imperative programs considered faster than their functional counterparts?

  More broadly, they can be fast even without such extensions if they aggressively pursue optimization opportunities afforded by static typing, like MLton for example, but that also impacts compilation performance negatively. Source: over 2 years ago

• Coalton: How to Have Our (Typed) Cake and (Safely) Eat It Too, in Common Lisp

  According to the OP, it's from http://mlton.org/ (see https://coalton-lang.github.io/20211010-introducing-coalton/#acknowledgements ). - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Learning Rust: Enumerating Excellence

  Let's dive back into Rust! This time we're going to be going through the lesson called "Enums and Pattern Matching". We're going to be looking at inferring meaning with our data, how we can use match to execute different code depending on input and finally we'll have a look at if let. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Writing your own CLI in rust

  We will be using rust. Rust is a very simple to use memory and type safe language that is excellent for building cool and reliable CLI’s. In fact it has quickly become the number one tool for building CLI’s. I’ll dive into more on why rust CLI’s are good in a future blog post, so stay tuned for that. So, with that, let’s get our project set up. Install rust on your machine if you have not already. You can do so... - Source: dev.to / 8 months ago

  The Rust Project certainly has slogans. The web site says, for example:. Source: about 1 year ago

• My first usable rust project: a simple local http server. Mainly posting here to get feedback:)

  Hello rustaceans, this is my first usable rust project which is a simple local http server. Posting here to get feedback on what I have done incorrectly or not in a idiomatic way and how to fix them in a idiomatic way. Cheers :). Source: about 1 year ago
