LLMs pose an interesting problem for DSL designers

news.ycombinator.com Kiran Gopinathan 2026-03-17 12:17:05

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 2026-03-17 12:06:54

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

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been on something of a hiring spree lately, trying to staff up Meta’s new superintelligence team with top-tier AI researchers from competing labs.

Minecraft: Chase the Skies improves graphics, adds Happy Ghast mob

Minecraft is a game about breaking and placing blocks. At first, players built simple structures to protect themselves from nocturnal monsters. But as the game grew, players began working together to create wonderful, imaginative things. It can also be about adventuring with friends or watching the sunrise over a blocky ocean. It's pretty. Brave players battle terrible creatures in The Nether, which is more scary than pretty. Or, if you'd prefer something calmer, you can visit a land of giant m

UK regulators on Tuesday fined 23andMe 2.31 million pounds ($3.1 million) for data privacy violations stemming from the company's massive data breach in 2023.
