What Programming Concepts do you Struggle to Grok or Use in Production?**
For me, type magic whether Haskelly or Idrisy dependent types evades me. A lot of modern comp sci concentrates on types, which I find a slog to get through, in spite of some helps. I’ve worked through a few books on the topic and admire how Rust renders some errors unnecessary or how types handle some types of control flow, but in practice I only use them to optimize pe ... ⌘ Read more

WebAssembly from the Ground Up – learn WASM by building a compiler
Hi!

We (pdubroy & marianoguerra) just launched an online book called WebAssembly from the Ground Up. It’s an online book to learn Wasm by building a simple compiler in JavaScript.

This is the book we wish we’d had 3 years ago. Unlike many WebAssembly resources that focus on use cases and tooling, we wanted a deep dive into how Wasm actually works.

We focus on the core of WebAssembly: the module format and the instruction set. We th ... ⌘ Read more
