"we know that forM will not change the number of elements in the container by leaning on the Traversable laws alone"

Super exciting to see Rust preparing for v1.0 this year! http://t.co/OutYC0P6ST

LLVM's opt is very effective. I had a bug in my compiler such that it didn't compile all side effects, and opt removed the entire program!

When using a programming language with a scary grammar, a decent error message makes the world of difference: http://t.co/rG5YvgWQlK

Exciting new features in C++17: http://t.co/Lgp0ytaCbj but also really nice to see misfeatures removed!

"I have seen the glint in their eyes when [compiler devs] discuss optimization techniques you would not want your children to know about!"

etcd has unit tests that run through all the state machine states from the Raft paper, in 1.5 seconds: https://coreos.com/blog/etcd-2.0-release-first-major-stable-release/ Impressive!

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

Awesome #Emacs project of the day: e2ansi https://github.com/Lindydancer/e2ansi lets you use Emacs for highlighting in CLI less.

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
