Interesting syntax extensions project for Rust: http://t.co/bjwYTjPmcx (seems a little odd that macros are parsed outside-in though).

https://github.com/taunus/taunus is a very cool isomorphic JS framework with a strong progressive rendering policy. We need more isomorphic tooling.

It's frustrating that many great BF programs have authorship but no clear license. It's hard to build a good BF test suite of 'real' code.

.@asbradbury I receive the excellent @llvmweekly emails as unrendered markdown -- would it be possible to send rendered HTML?

The vast majority of C compilers have a hand-written recursive descent parser. It's rare to see yacc in the wild.

It's interesting to note that LLVM's aggressive API churn is fantastic for forcing companies to push code upstream: http://t.co/UTiq0ujTv6

Happy to see that LLVM is moving to a single build system: http://t.co/EKiSJYkqCh (previously both autotools and CMake were supported)

.@oxlang has some really interesting ideas around immutable namespaces. Compiling code effectively whilst providing a good REPL is hard.

6to5 now rewrites functions with TCO! https://github.com/6to5/6to5/pull/714#issuecomment-73433079 (I wrote an elisp equivalent, but this is far more general)
Added complete TCO (tail call optimization). by RReverser · Pull Request #714 · babel/babel

Works across functions and generates simpler and faster code than #701. Works even across files when used in conjunction with runtime option. Closes #256.

Slightly scary to learn that C++ can instantiate objects for you, implicitly: http://t.co/UMFCbtsuWN (unless you use the 'explicit' keyword)

Whilst C++ is a curly-brace language, it's really quite different syntactically to C/JS/Java (even more in C++11). Seeking beginner's mind.
