LLMs pose an interesting problem for DSL designers

news.ycombinator.com Kiran Gopinathan 2026-03-19 04:17:05

The most exciting part of Programming Languages (PL) research for me has always been in Programming Language Design. By carefully crafting a language with a syntax and semantics tailored for a specific domain, PL designers can provide an interface for end users that seamlessly aligns with the sensibilities and intuitions of practitioners, allowing users to focus on the "interesting" parts of a problem and tackle larger and more complex problems. Instead of writing a verbose sequence of API cal

Bzip2 crate switches from C to 100% Rust

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-19 04:06:54

Today we published bzip2 version 0.6.0 , which uses our rust implementation of the bzip2 algorithm, libbz2-rs-sys , by default. The bzip2 crate is now faster and easier to cross-compile. The libbz2-rs-sys crate can also be built as a C dynamic library, if you have a C project that would benefit from these improvements. Why though? Why bother working on this algorithm from the 90s that sees very little use today? The thing is that many protocols and libraries still need to support bzip2 to be

‘Ironheart’ Will Continue Tony Stark’s Legacy, and Robert Downey Jr. Approves

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2026-03-19 06:45:26

“I want to continue Stark’s legacy,” says Riri Williams, the main character in the upcoming Marvel Studios show Ironheart. Played by Dominique Thorne, Riri is a genius inventor, just like the late, great Iron Man, but without his billionaire resources. That conflict will be at the heart of the new show, which debuts on Disney+ June 24, and Tony Stark himself just endorsed it. Two fantastic Ironheart videos just came online, one of which focuses on the practical suits built for the production. E

The Best Android Phones of 2025: Tested by Our Experts

The Galaxy S25's biggest flex that I noticed while testing is it shares many of the same attributes as its pricier counterparts, the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra – but it does so for several hundred dollars less. You'll find features like the AI Select tool, Audio Eraser and deeper Gemini integration across all of Samsung's S25 devices, as well as a custom Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 12GB RAM – making the smaller phone of the bunch still seem pretty mighty.
