An unscientific benchmark reveals stark differences in execution speed for simple programs across 20 languages. While all complete in under 2 seconds except Kotlin, the relative performance gaps—like Rust beating C++ and Java trailing C#—highlight compiler efficiency nuances critical for containerized workloads.

Amidst today's Rust and Go hype, a growing contingent of developers is exploring Fortran – the 67-year-old language powering scientific computing. This deep dive reveals how modern Fortran syntax, performance advantages, and refreshed tooling make it surprisingly relevant for contemporary technical challenges.

LangJam Gamejam is a unique 7-day hackathon challenging developers to create a new programming language and then use it to build a game. The event, running from December 14-20, 2025, promises prizes for the most creative submissions.

A seasoned C++ developer reveals why Rust remains their preferred side-project language despite deep frustrations with syntax inconsistencies, control flow limitations, and ecosystem fragmentation. This candid critique exposes pain points from implicit closure captures to async integration struggles that impact real-world adoption.

Dive into Lingua::Romana::Perligata, a mind-bending module that transforms Perl syntax into functional Latin. Discover how variables become declensions, functions conjugate as verbs, and loops structure as conditional clauses in this audacious fusion of ancient language and modern programming.

Discover how a programming languages exam question about termination properties inspired a full Haskell implementation of a tiny functional language interpreter. This deep dive explores parser combinator design, pattern matching mechanics, and why this deliberately limited language isn't Turing complete.
