What do think about it? How does it compare with, say PyTorch or TensorFlow? Thanks.

What features appeal most to you? What would you consider a must-have? What would be an obvious expectation for you? What level of automation in the ML life cycle are you comfortable with? Thanks.

Thanks for the distro. I use it for dev on my Windows machine. Can't wait for the update!

Personally, I don't do tests on my projects, it's a weak guarantee in my opinion. I prefer formal proofs... Working on a language for automatically managing the same.. Gothub.com/onchere/whack

Ask HN: Ideas for a Programming Language Book

Posted by wycliffb on Monday March 18, 2019 @12:16PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Hey! So I intend to write an end-to-end book on the design and implementation of a programming language, right from design choices, type system, native implementation to formal semantics (K Framework). Any pointers/requests?

Yes. An example is telco market leader Safaricom.co.ke that rolled out 'voice as password'. Keep in mind most Kenyan transactions these days are in mobile money.

The closest to that is CSPA.io, but they don't confer degrees. It's billed as the SAT for software engineers.

Re:Ask HN: How to learn to write a compiler and interpreter? on Friday January 25, 2019 @01:26AM (#18995980)

maybe you could look into LLVM's Kaleidoscope tutorial..

Re:Show HN: Whack – A simply-designed compiled programming language on Thursday November 01, 2018 @11:14AM (#18354684)

Currently following up on comments 1 and 3. Very good suggestions.

Re:Show HN: Whack – A simply-designed compiled programming language on Thursday November 01, 2018 @09:47AM (#18353812)

Check: https://github.com/aalhour/awesome-compilers

Re:Show HN: Whack – A simply-designed compiled programming language on Monday October 29, 2018 @02:53PM (#18330146)

Will definitely follow up on this. Maybe we could support DSLs while at it?

Re:Show HN: Whack – A simply-designed compiled programming language on Monday October 29, 2018 @10:36AM (#18327840)

I haven't come across good material on the matter. If you do use C++ I do recommend you employ RAAI idiom in code generation for help with lexical scoping for your language.

Re:Show HN: Whack – A simply-designed compiled programming language on Monday October 29, 2018 @05:36AM (#18326095)

Interesting suggestion! Will be sure to add that when I can.

Re:Show HN: Whack – A simply-designed compiled programming language on Monday October 29, 2018 @05:32AM (#18326078)

Will remember to do so: will add an example for each language feature.

Re:Show HN: Whack – A simply-designed compiled programming language on Monday October 29, 2018 @05:31AM (#18326073)

Just pushed LLVM.dll to snapshot folder.
