On Feb 1st, 2024, #Apple released Pkl. Pronounced "pickle", it is a complete configuration scripting language, including a JSON/YAML/XML/more compiler, a language server, bunch of IDE plugins, and of course direct bindings for your favorite programming language, for quick adoption. A #Python binding seems missing.

I like how a Pkl config's specs and values are colocated. Always hated maintaining separate schemas for very simple configs.

#go #golang #generics

Question: If I care about msec performance, should I avoid generics in Go?

A programming language benchmark that includes many of my favorites: #php #nodejs #ruby #python #c #swift #rust #go #java #zig #perl #mojo #bun #elixir

Check out that graph. The results surprised me a little bit. https://github.com/attractivechaos/plb2

After two decades programming in many different languages, I can affirm that my single biggest reason to like #Go is that #gophers don't write over-the-top abstractions. No other mainstream language has been able to prevent developers from accidentally overcomplicating, or even mentally abusing, their future selves and others through unwieldy architecture. #Golang keeps it ugly but simple.

That said, I'm looking forward to future syntax improvements.

Important #Golang changes coming up in #Go 1.22: No need to shadow loop variables anymore. Range over integers. Profile-guided optimization #PGO can make your production binaries 14% faster.

I’ve had tiny software stuck in my head lately. Not just tiny as in widgets, but tiny in the context of tiny hardware as well. There’s something really appealing about this, nostalgia aside.

Writing some #golang after 4 solid years of #python. It's slow going. What do you mean I have to recompile after every change?!?

ryguw, 8 months ago to python

And a few bonus tricks to speed up your #python application:

11. Don't print() anything until the end
12. Use sets instead of lists
13. Use dicts instead of lists
14. Don't forget to break a loop when the objective is reached (good enough), loops don't always have to finish
15. When working with multi-dimensional data, try to determine which index ranges really need to be looped over

Know any tips that should be on this list? 🫵

A week later, can confirm: that terrible soreness from the first week of exercise after being idle for years? Completely gone now. Now I only feel the effort during a workout, not for a bunch of days after. This is much nicer.

So, #deployment…

1. "zero downtime"
2. "scale to zero"
   3 ...

Is there a third Ooh-I-want-this, that conveniently happens to feature the word "zero"?
