I’ve been programming for long enough to be righteously cantankerous about a lot of things. The list of languages, frameworks and libraries I’ve worked with professionally or on personal projects is too long to list – but it includes everything from C and assembly languages through C++, Pascal and Delphi, through Java and Clojure, through Perl, PHP, Python, Javascript, Typescript and so on. I’ve tinkered with Rust, APL, Uiua, Erlang and Haskell. I’ve been around the block a few times. So let me

In my memories of the Scottish hospital, the sky is always blue, though I know that can’t be completely accurate. Summer was waning, and as my friends and I had already experienced, Edinburgh was prone to unpredictable storms. Yet, I can’t think of a single moment of rain in the two weeks I lay in bed. My morphine-soaked haze only allowed glimpses and fragments: the bracing air coming in from an open window, the rough comfort of my mother’s fingers wiping my fever-moist brow, my father’s tears.

In context: Prompt injection is an inherent flaw in large language models, allowing attackers to hijack AI behavior by embedding malicious commands in the input text. Most defenses rely on internal guardrails, but attackers regularly find ways around them – making existing solutions temporary at best. Now, Google thinks it may have found a permanent fix. Since chatbots went mainstream in 2022, a security flaw known as prompt injection has plagued artificial intelligence developers. The problem

As many others observe as well, one of the major reasons to write is to firm up ideas in one’s own head. Serializing an idea out into English words is still no guarantee one understands it deeply, but it is great progress over a very fuzzy idea that has never been fleshed out at all. I’ve known for a long time I wanted to sit down and write this out. But I had no idea how many principles I’ve either drawn out from my times with functional languages, or had sharpened by them forcing me on to cer

And for this round date I’d like to present my impressions and thoughts on the language—from the perspective of applicability in my experimental multimedia framework. Why Rust? I love C and would use it to write a new tool if needed, but it has two major deficiencies: lack of composability and different concepts of the language held by different parties. The former means that you start to get an increasing amount of
