In 2016, the Japanese government announced a plan for the emergence of a new kind of society. Human civilization, the proposal explained, had begun with hunter-gatherers, passed through the agrarian and industrial stages, and was fast approaching the end of the information age.

From 2018 to 2021, I worked on a greenfield Python runtime called Skybison. One of its major differences from CPython was that it used a moving garbage collector (GC). This I understood in theory—I knew that it ran when the heap filled up, knew we needed handles to update pointers in the runtime’s code, had read the...

“Code the Perimeter” is the key insight of Kevin Greer’s fabulous 2016 analysis of why Unix beat Multics and what it means for Google’s mission to organize the world’s information. If you haven’t seen it, it’s well worth 7 minutes of your time. In the 1960s, implementing a new operating system was considered a hercu...

January 3rd, 2025 Recently, a colleague asked me for a code review on some complex UI changes. The idea was to make an error-prone form easier to use by displaying warnings in the right moment, and automating various state changes in the background (think “smart configurator”). The requirements were given upfront, s...

Last month, I added code to my assembler to output BASIC code instead of binary to make it easier to use assembly subroutines from BASIC. But I've been working on a rather large program that assembles to nearly 2K of object code, and it takes a bit of time to POKE all that data into memory. So I took a bit of time (...

I’ve got a lot of ideas in my head of things I’d like to see, but don’t have the time to see out myself. Perhaps this could be a series. However, unlike many “idea guys”, I’m aiming to explain how you could implement this. And please do – I’m sharing because I think it’d be beneficial, or at least interesting to thi...
