| | | | | The 1980s and 1990s saw the genesis of Perl, Ruby, Python, PHP and JavaScript: interpreted, dynamically-typed programming languages which favored ease of use and flexibility over performance. In many ways, these programming languages are a product of the surrounding context. The 90s were the peak of the dot-com hype, and CPU clock speeds were still... | |

| | | | | 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... | |

| | | | | I was recently made maintainer of the json gem, and aside from fixing some old bugs, I focused quite a bit on its performance, so that it is now the fastest JSON parser and generator for Ruby on most benchmarks. | |

| | | Ive always loved emulators because they let me play old games that I enjoyed as a kid, so I thought it might be fun to learn how they work and how to build one. My real goal is to build an NES emulator, but after doing some research, I decided to take the advice of the internet and start by building an emulator for the much less complex CHIP-8 instead. Its a good stepping stone to the NES. | ||
