I am Jack's . Without me, Jack's application has values without a place. Jack declares me once. I am a singleton. Every part of his program that reads my cell is reading the same me. ${ type Order:enum = { Cart, Paying, Paid, Shipped, Refunded...

To whom it may concern, The articles that I publish. The smack talking that I engage in, here or on X more likely. That is all an attempt at engaging anyone, with an opinion and the junk to back it, in a conversation about what programming should lo...

I am Jack's match. I am the question Jack asks about a value that could be more than one thing. He has an order. It is exactly one of five things, and he wrote the list himself. type Order:enum = { Cart, Paying, Paid, Shipped, Refunded } There...

I am not exactly sure when this language really started to become writable. I imagine I am one of the few, if not the only guy to build a legitimately usable programming language without ever really having written it. Don't get me wrong. I have writ...

I love programming! Not just the act of writing code; but also learning about it's history, it's outliers, the reasonings behind the chaotic and beautiful tumbling of dominoes that led to this perpetual Pandora's puzzle box, simultaneously solved, an...

When I started actually experimenting with transpiling my own ideas into the languages that the browser understands. I really didn't have any idea where I was going to end up. I certanily didn't expect to flip the whole damn paradigm; but hey, the o...
