Built my first lisp [codearq.net] (after already having started writing two compilers xD) in #zig! Mainly to test out the language, but it was much fun anyway.

It also got a few ideas for my own language for a few functional programming things :D

I enoyied the most the memory checking zig does, be it leaks, use-after-free or double-free, which makes this project the most easy to be memory-safe out of all my native (c-like) projects whithout multiple days using #valgrind xD

Just released my attempt on reimplementing the dlang language with an modern codebase, focused on modularity & clearity of the code: https://codearq.net/mdc/mdc

Currently only the parser is implemented, which can completly parse the libphobos & its own source. Next steps would be to move the ast into it's own package (it's currently part of the parser), as well as implementing the semantic analysis, typechecker and IR.

Yay, I finally got the #dlang #parser to parse (without any exception or segfault) itself and the libphobos standard library! Next step is either start working on the IR or to increaset source-to-source compability to actually check if everything is parsed in a correct order and/or to enable usecases such as documentation tools and formatters.

Performancewise it's not that bad either; it parses all 314k lines of libphobos in ~5.5 seconds.

I'm gonna stream tomorrow at noon EST! Gonna be writing a webassembly compiler as a part of modernizing hlang! It's gonna be a fun time writing the nguh (/ŋə/) hlang compiler and desperately hacking at things. Hopefully I don't go heckin' crazy!

If you don't make the stream, I'm gonna upload it to my YouTube feed and maybe my website if that works out. It may be too big for how I designed XeDN. We'll find out! It's probably fine.

I should write an #introduction, shouldn’t I?

Hi, I’m Becca. I’m a #poly #trans #lesbian with #ADHD in the #BayArea. I’m mildly kinky but keep horny off main.

I’m a programming language designer working on #SwiftLang’s Language Steering Group, and I do #compilerdev at #apple. I like teaching people to use things.

Outside of work, I play #FFXIV and I’m a #StarTrek fan (#DS9 is my fave). I’ve been getting back into #lego. I like reading—mostly web fiction, but occasionally novels—and I write #fanfiction occasionally. I’ve been exploring Taylor Swift’s catalog recently, but my music tastes usually run more to things like Coheed and Cambria or Dream Theater.
