   Use of WINFBE for making 32 bit and 64 bit applications

   Being frustrated by the replacement of vb6 paradigm with .Net philosophy,total different from the orher, I looked over 20 years a replacement. For a while, worked with brilliant PowerBasic combined with FireFly, but the lack of 64 bit caused by early and regretable loss of Bob , finished the game. Now, FireFly is replaced by WinFbe,like a phoenix bird again and as language is prefered FreeBasic, a good mature 32/64 bit compiler,strong and with same syntax origin like basic used by Microsoft in good times. The combination is awsome, differences are only estetical in comparation with old VB. Winfbe becomes a redutable tool, with online context suggestions, well done and it deserves a look , as an intersting alternative

• Ruby 3.3's YJIT: Faster While Using Less Memory

  Obviously as an interpreted language, it's never going to be as fast as something like C, Rust, or Go. Traditionally the ruby maintainers have not designed or optimized for pure speed, but that is changing, and the language is definitely faster these days compared to a decade ago. If you like the ruby syntax/language but want the speed of a compiled language, it's also worth checking out Crystal[^1]. It's mostly... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Jets: The Ruby Serverless Framework

  Ruby is a super fun scripting language. I much prefer it to python when I need something with a little more "ooomph" than bash. It's just...nice...to write in. Ruby performance has come a long way in the last decade as well. There's libraries for pretty much everything. My modern programming toolkit is basically golang + ruby + bash and I am never left wanting. I do find Crystal (https://crystal-lang.org/) really... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
