  1. Proposal for a full-fledged C String

    Dynamic allocation, SSO, views, refcounting, etc.. are spread on various implementations. C++ separates string and string_view. And they're not fully compatible. (Ex. you can't concat cross-type !?). Rust has str, &str,…

  2. Ask HN: German CamelCase?

    German speakers, the way you create new words by concatenation is fantastic but hard to read. Lebensversicherungsgesellschaft could be faster for the brain to separate as : LebensVersicherungsGesellschaft Is it used /…

  4. Ask HN: Logical Vulnerability Discovery?

    I understand fuzzing is bombarding with malformed or corner-case inputs. But are there tools that, given target source and language model, will systematically pinpoint (at least some) logical vulnerabilities ? User…

  9. Ask HN: JS++ ? Why not make a new, strongly typed JavaScript ?

    Javascript has a nice syntax but needs to be faster and more reliable. With strong typing JS++ would eliminate many runtime bugs. Without all the crazy implicit conversions, boxing, 'eval', etc... fantastic speeds could…

  13. Ask HN: Compiled Web App

    I desperately want to build radically fast and lean web apps. My stack at the moment is nginx > nodejs > sqlite. To step it up I want to replace nodejs with a compiled app. What language should I use ? Precision : I'd…
