• How to Write a PHP Extension with Zig?

  When writing code in a scripting language, sometimes you need that extra bit of performance (or maybe an async feature from Zig). - Source: dev.to / 22 days ago

• Bun - The One Tool for All Your JavaScript/Typescript Project's Needs?

  NodeJS is by no means a slow runtime, it wouldn’t be so popular if it was. But compared to Bun, it’s slow. Bun was built from the ground up with speed in mind, using both JavascriptCore and Zig. The Bun team spent an enormous amount of time and energy trying to make Bun fast, including lots of profiling, benchmarking, and optimizations. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Programming Language Checklist

  You may find Zig interesting: https://ziglang.org. The language is not C compatible but the tooling can compile C and C++ without hassle. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• After a day of programming in Zig

  Zig describes itself as "... a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal and reusable software.". Sounds very generic, eh? - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• MiniLang – C Succesor

  Rust is much more akin to C++ than C in terms of complexity. It's early but Zig[1] might fit the bill. [1] https://ziglang.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Install mutiple Erlang and Elixir with vfox

  If you've been using asdf to manage and maintain multiple versions of Erlang and Elixir, then vfox is also a good choice for you. - Source: dev.to / 6 days ago

• Perfect Elixir: Environment Setup

  I’m on MacOS and erlang.org, elixir-lang.org, and postgresql.org all suggest installation via Homebrew, which is a very popular package manager for MacOS. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Reliability in Legacy Software

  But regardless of their reasons, they'll note that the service is easily meeting its SLOs. It was written in a highly performant, if idiosyncratic language, and uses patterns which give it a high level of resilience and the ability to recover from many situations automatically. The service is steady as a rock, and left to its own devices will more or less chug along indefinitely once deployed. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Meet entr, the standalone file watcher

  As you might have guessed, one of the main use cases for entr is to rerun tests whenever files change. I'm an Elixir engineer, and I use entr to run mix test continuously whenever I save an Elixir file. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago

• Good Bye CRUD APIs, Hello Sync: Realtime PostgreSQL with ElectricSQL

  The diagram demonstrates the communication pathway between the browser and the Postgres database through the Electric service. Essentially, Electric Sync Service, an Elixir application, orchestrates active-active data replication between the user's local DB and Postgres. - Source: dev.to / 6 months ago
