Common, useful algorithms written in modern and easy-to-understand JavaScript along with real-world usage examples. All the algorithms shown are also tested using Jest with the help of custom beautiful snapshots.

A compiler is just a program that translates source code into machine code. Let’s learn about LLVM, a widely used compiler in Rust and Swift too.

Francis Stokes created a 16-bit virtual machine (VM) in JavaScript before. Now he created a programming language that compiles to 16bitjs assembly and runs on that VM.

NAT causes well-known difficulties for peer-to-peer (P2P) communication, since the peers involved may not be reachable at any globally valid IP address. This paper documents and analyzes a NAT traversal techniques.

Elixir is a hot and trendy topic nowadays. Of course, it’s not a silver bullet. It’s worth looking into other programming languages and see how they solve problems. This is a list of reading, notes, and articles to really understand Elixir.

Simple, plain-English explanations accompanied by math, code, and real-world examples.

Microservices make it possible to isolate failures through well-defined service boundaries. To minimize the impact of partial outages, we need to build fault-tolerant services that can gracefully respond to certain types of outages.

Chris Lattner, a Swift creator introduces an approach to concurrency in Swift. Even if you aren’t using Swift, we believe you can learn a lot by reading this. Chris write about async/await, the actor model, and learning from other languages.

François Zaninotto wrote about measuring performance, finding the bottle necks, and how to fix them to improve React performance.
