@leux08 @awesomekling @ladybirdbrowser Did you install `ladybird-git` or `ladybird`? the second package is randomly updated since there are no actual releases to go between.

Lately I'm using Discord in @ladybirdbrowser more and more, to test it and find things to fix.
It's basically "usable but a little glitchy" now if you don't need audio/video calls. Really cool how far we've come here! 😎

Fil-C is 3x faster than Swift according to the binarytrees language shootout benchmark.
Detailed data:
Swift at -O: 6.6 seconds
Swift at -Ounchecked: 3.7 seconds (but this isn't even memory safe!)
Fil-C at -O3: 2.1 seconds
Fil-C at -O3 and the code changed to rely on GC (no freeing, no pools): 2.8 seconds
In other words, Fil-C's safest variant (just relying on GC) is still faster than Swift even with Swift's safety turned off! Comparing default v. default, without changing any code or disabling Swift's safety, Fil-C is 3x faster than Swift.

@madejejej @shanselman I wish it was.
No, I just opened a massive trace in instruments and forgot about it overnight

First time I see this dialogue on Mac OS X.

Porffor now passes over 36% of Test262, the official ECMAScript test suite!

Thrilled to announce that from next week I'll be working on my AOT JS engine Porffor full-time, thanks to the support of @defunkt!

@AstraKernel I find your dedication cute, but please kindly explain how Rust would've helped fix this specific issue (the user calling an async-signal-unsafe function in a signal handler) when rust doesn't even have native signal handling (and doesn't model async-signal-safety).

@awesomekling @ladybirdbrowser I hate to be the one saying this, but *there's no needle in pic related*

Some early progress on Speedometer performance in @ladybirdbrowser 🤓🐞🌍
This is mainly from improvements to the JS bytecode interpreter and fixing memory leaks in the garbage collector.
We leak a *lot*, so as the test progresses, we have more and more heap to deal with. But @KalenikW is making good progress on tracking down GC issues.
We've got a looong way to go, but it's nice to see the needle moving in the right direction 😅🚀
Andreas Kling@awesomekling
We can finally complete the Speedometer 2.1 benchmark in @ladybirdbrowser properly! 🐞🌍🚀 (It has been possible to run it before, but behavior was incorrect and scores were too high.) So this is where we're at: 5.82 runs/minute 🐢 For comparison, Firefox does 240 runs/minute on the same machine. This means we just need a casual 40x improvement to catch up 😅

@jntrnr @code_report @typescript @fortranlang Gotta laugh at _something_ mate, what better than a silly list ranking languages?

🚨 Breaking News 🚨 @typescript falls out of the top 50 programming languages (according to TIOBE) ... and @fortranlang enters top 10 ...

@haxor Just-woke-up kinda answer, but the second form is just the first one expanded with the impossible entries removed.
Going the other way, I think you might also be able to infer the second form by unifying backwards from the returns to the function type (second pic here)
English
I've been reading papers on gradual typing, and I still can't figure out how to infer the type of `my_func` below. Any tips? Following dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/14… I would expect the first result, but what I want is the second (mentioned but not solved in dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/32…).

today i explained to my girlfriend that i think the difference between writing programming languages and writing operating systems is that PL is like the Wizard class in D&D, and OS is more like being a Warlock

@dazabani @tabatkins @awesomekling AFAIK bikeshed can only reason about one logical spec (which could be multiple files), so unless you generate a massive document like I did, can't do that out-of-the-box.
English
@tabatkins @awesomekling @the_semicolon_ bikeshed uses some kind of index to resolve cross-spec references right? i wonder if that same mechanism can be used to include cross-spec references in the popup for a term?
English
We were once again disappointed that CSS specifications don't let you cross-reference terms to find usages in other specs.
So @the_semicolon_ went and combined all the specs into one big godzilla spec! 😅🦖📚

@tabatkins @awesomekling Sure. the "combined" source was iteration 1, and it just made bikeshed get mad at indentation level inconsistencies and produce garbage, I just made it use includes instead :P

English
@awesomekling @the_semicolon_ Could you host the combined source on GitHub? Gigantic documents like this are a useful stress test for Bikeshed.
English
@miketaylr @awesomekling Honestly, grepping csswg-drafts is both faster _and_ easier than loading the generated monstrosity, but hey, if it takes bikeshed 20 minutes to generate, it must be good right?
English
@lemire @Random832 I wholeheartedly disagree, writing code then throwing it out is how you learn the problem space. No amount of discussion, review or test can teach you about the problem even half as much as attempting to solve it multiple times from scratch.
English
@Random832 That's the key point. Instead of writing lots and lots of code, and then refactoring multiple times, and then throw it away and restarts, it pays to pause, discuss, review, test, retest.
English
When programming, you are almost surely not limited by your typing skills.
The entire Node.js code base contains fewer than 50,000 lines of code. If you write 150 lines of code a day, or 20 per hour 8 hours a day, you can write more lines of code than that in a year.
Stéphane Cocquereaumont@stephc_int13
@tottinge Typing speed and tools fluency helps staying the flow and making the boring part of the work less boring, that is important. On the other hand, a coder able to consistently write one line of code per minute is very productive. The bottleneck is not in the hands.

All right, I learned enough Inkscape to draw some vector icons for the Ladybird browser toolbar! 🐞🌍
It definitely looks a bit more "native" on Linux now IMO 🤓
English
@seanbax 🤔 is this implemented by turning the rhs into a single-expr lambda? Or are you performing a more sophisticated rewrite of that expression tree?

Cool cool. More pipeline-placeholder C++23 ranges samples work.
Compile times not good, but definite improvement over gcc-13.1.
