Notes from the workshop
A pinch of Finch
Essays and notes about small languages, the BEAM, compilers, and the warm corners of programming.
- Pooka has gone out into the world
- One file, several different doors
- The comments open a reading room
- The tests have brought their own notebook
- The parcel contains its own string
- Bits need a place to put their hats
- The compiler remembers the route home
- The string has more than one ruler
- The error takes the next train
- A process keeps its own weather
- A dictionary remembers the old key
- A class can travel without a suitcase
- The list leaves a trail of breadcrumbs
- Gleam keeps a chair by the workbench
- Whitespace has put the kettle on
- A pipe knows which way home is
- Erlang answers through a small window
- The standard library asks awkward questions
- Two packages borrow the same ladder
- There is someone at every door
- An interface makes a small promise
- The parser finds the stairs
- Forty-two wears a different hat
- Erlang has left the side door open
- The type checker lends a pencil
- A name finds its own hook
- A comma arrives without an appointment
- The compiler leaves a note under the door
- Gleam gives every token a proper name
- I have made room for a small compiler
