Magicoder: Empowering Code Generation with OSS-Instruct

We introduce Magicoder, a series of fully open-source (code, weights, and data) Large Language Models (LLMs) for code that significantly closes the gap with top code models while having no more...

A sufficiently detailed spec is code

Specifications do not address the limitations of agentic coding

Pony

An open-source, object-oriented, actor-model, capabilities-secure, high-performance programming language.

Modular: The Claude C Compiler: What It Reveals About the Future of Software

Compilers occupy a special place in computer science. They're a canonical course in computer science education. Building one is a rite of passage. It forces you to confront how software actually works, by examining languages, abstractions, hardware, and the boundary between human intent and machine execution.

Sprites - Stateful sandboxes

Persistent, hardware-isolated execution environments for arbitrary code. Run AI agents, untrusted code, and more in secure sandbox environments with checkpoint & restore.

Forking is Cool, or: A Unix Shell in Zig, or: Dave Learns How to Fork - ratfactor

In this article, I make a real, working interactive shell written in Zig. Though essentially a toy, it demonstrates the incredible elegance of the fork() system call and is an example of what can be done with absolutely no runtime memory allocations.

DASL: DRISL — Deterministic Representation for Interoperable Structures & Links

DRISL is a serialization format that is deterministic (so that the same data will have the same CID) and that features native support for using CIDs as links. It is based on CBOR, using a narrow profile of CBOR's "Core" featureset called "[[cborc-42]]", specified formally in this IETF document.
