JavaScript in asm.js (and a little rust) - Dr. C. Scott Ananian
http://cananian.livejournal.com/68747.html
Dr C Scott Ananian. JavaScript in asm.js (and a little rust). October 3rd, 2013. Over on twitter, Tim Caswell mentioned, "I think high-level scripting language on top of something like rust.zero would make for an amazing OS.". And that set me off a bit. Twitter isn't a great place to write a reasoned discussion of programming languages or implementation strategies, so let's take a shot at it here. As I've written about on this blog. My TurtleScript bytecode interpreter written in Rust. The. But the true ...

Rust is not fast - Dr. C. Scott Ananian
http://cananian.livejournal.com/69096.html
Dr C Scott Ananian. Rust is not fast. October 3rd, 2013. There are plenty of safe high-level languages in the world; JavaScript, for example. Rust. Is different: it's supposed to be safe and fast. But Rust is slow. (And its type system hates you.). Rust is slow because there is lots of hidden indirection ("smart dereferencing") and other hidden costs (ref counting, etc). In low-level C code I can look at a line of code and know roughly how many (slow) memory accesses are present. Not so in Rust. Rust is ...

The Importance of Sensing Distance - Dr. C. Scott Ananian
http://cananian.livejournal.com/67390.html
Dr C Scott Ananian. The Importance of Sensing Distance. August 22nd, 2012. In June, Arnan Sipitakiat and Nusarin Nusen discussed how they are using Robo-Blocks. Mdash;a turtle robot and “tangible Turtle Blocks. Rdquo;—to teach problem solving and debugging skills to 5- through 12-year-olds. Rdquo;) because the inaccuracies of open-loop control of the robot means that the polygons often didn't close completely, and “[t]his small error turned out to be unacceptable to children.”. 2012-08-22 05:22 pm (UTC).

async/await improvements
https://esdiscuss.org/topic/async-await-improvements
James Long (2 years ago). After a brief twitter conversation last night ( twitter.com/lbljeffmo/status/532402141001179136. I thought I'd post some thoughts I've been having about async/await. I feel like I'm about to walk into a pit where people throw lava at each other, but I need to see if at least a few other people agree with me. Features to ES7. This is cool, except that currently they are built on top of promises, meaning you get the same suppress-error-by-default behavior. Async static Task AsyncV...
