  • I work on a language for a living. It’s fun! It’s a job. But it’s fun.

    I’m not super involved with the traditional language parts. The design and parsing and optimization. I spent most of my time on the runtime. We’re embedded in another big system and there’s a lot of things to make it nice.

    I spent the day wiring up more profile information for the times the runtime has to go async. Then I’ll fix up some docs generation stuff. Eventually I’ll get back to fun shadowing edge case in the new syntax I’m building.




  • I think the technologies are pretty bubble based. We are 80/15/5 Mac/Linux/Windows and it’s been 15 years since I worked on a software team that’s thats mostly windows. But I talk to them from time to time. But if anything Mac feels underrepresented compared to my bubble.

    I admit I’m probably biased in favor of believing the survey is representative. I work on one of the databases.

    Speaking of databases, I don’t work on SQL Server but can see the appeal. It implements a huge array of features and it’s documentation is pretty good. Folks have told me it’s a lovely database to use.
