| | In my last post I described how I made a very fast BF interpreter. Well, there's a lot more speed to be had with an optimizing compiler. This post is a write-up of my assignment for a compilers class, so the post a little rougher than normal.

| | In this post, we are going to take a deep dive into pointer tagging, where metadata is encoded into a word-sized pointer. Doing so allows us to keep a compact representation that can be passed around in machine registers. This is very common in implementing dynamic programming languages, but can really be used anywhere that additional runtime information is needed about a pointer. We will look at a handful of different ways these pointers can be encoded and see how the compiler can optimize them for diff...

| In this article, I would like to talk about two technologies I've been playing with recently: the Rust programming language and the WebAssembly standard. I'll start by presenting each of these two technologies and which problems they are trying to solve. Then, I'll explain what are the advantages of a Rust-powered Wasm module, and why it can be useful. Finally, I'll provide links to interesting documentation. WebAssembly Since many years, client side web applications, implemented in JavaScript, have been becoming larger and larger.
