Semantics for 2D Rasterization
Rasterization is the process of determining the color of every pixel drawn by an application. Powerful rasterization libraries like Skia, CoreGraphics, and Direct2D put exceptional effort into drawing...

Grateful for the time I got to spend with them 2 years ago, working on Live Programming experimentation in Clojure and Clerk.

here's a peak at what i've been doing for the past few years:
building a calm, playful little space for thinking, doodling, journalling, and programming with materials like ink, paper, and… flux that spreads through your notes like a fluid wait what?

🚀 Zed v1.19 is out!
You can now explore a function’s callers and the functions it calls via `call hierarchy: show incoming calls` and `call hierarchy: show outgoing calls`.
Thanks swiftcoder!

Here's just one example of how a simple async program produces four different outcomes depending on which languages you use.

The concept of ‘language levels’ from racket is, to me, one of the great unsung ideas in computing. Imagine photoshop with extensible affordances gated to your current skill level, or a coding harness, or R studio, or a browser, or a terminal. To me it would be the welcome anti-philosophy to RTFM

Never mind, done. Here's an actual working, running (tiny) language, TaML, that is built atop the core of Standard ML, so it actually is an ML (type inference, etc.). Proof of executed output at the bottom. @racket-lang.org of course.
